[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#585491: libhdf5-doc: error messages from dhelp while indexing shuffling-algorithm-report.pdf

[Laurent Bonnaud]

Package: libhdf5-doc
Version: 1.8.4-patch1-2
Severity: normal


Hi,

every week cron sends me an e-mail with the following content:

  /etc/cron.weekly/dhelp:
  Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
  Error (98): Illegal character ')'
  Error (107): Illegal character ')'
  Error (113): Arg #2 to 'Tm' operator is wrong type (error)
  [...]

This error occurs when dhelp tries to index this file:

  /usr/share/doc/libhdf5-doc/html/TechNotes/shuffling-algorithm-report.pdf.gz

Here is a quick way to reproduce the errors:

  pdftotext shuffling-algorithm-report.pdf

BTW, this PDF file also looks corrupted when viewed with evince or other
PDF viewers.
