Bug Description
Binary package hint: inkscape
Hi,
using Ubuntu Karmic, the 'File -> Import From Open Clipart Library, Search' feature fails with:
Failed to receive the Open Clip Art Library RSS feed. Verify if the server name is correct in Configuration-
Under 'File -> Inkscape Preferences, Import/Export' there is this server configured:
openclipart.org
Looks like a regression from the fixed Bug #210336. Somebody commented there this regression in Karmic, too.
Didn't know, if I should reopen this bug, or open a new one (since the old one is fixed, and this one has a different cause).
Best regards

I've tested this in karmic with Inkscape 0.47~pre4-0ubuntu1, and everything seems fine. Which version of Inkscape are you using?
I am using the same version.
Hm, I don't have gnome installed - ah, this gives me an idea:
$ inkscape
(inkscape:7711): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Cannot load module `/usr/lib/
manually installing libgnomevfs2-extra fixes this problem.
Thus, the inkscape package should depend on libgnomevfs2-extra.
Btw, I noticed that the preview in the openclipart import dialog is broken for some pictures. To reproduce: Search for 'cpu' and then click on some images:
** Message: Gdk::PixbufError in SVGPreview:
** Message: Gdk::PixbufError in SVGPreview:
** Message: Gdk::PixbufError in SVGPreview:
are printed to the console ...
Since this is a packaging issue, I close this bug in Inkscape project.
I can't reproduce the second issue (PixbufError) on Ubuntu 9.10, Inkscape 0.47pre4 and latest dev version.
Not sure it's related to OpenClipArt. Could you please open a separate report for this bug?
Thanks.
Confirming that removing libgnomevfs2-extra breaks the openclipart import search function. I think "depends" is a bit too much - inkscape can still run fine without this library (except for the missing OCAL functionality). "recommends" seems more appropriate.

in inkscape, if libgnomevfs2-extra is not installed, the import from openclipart.org will fail.
</quote #946715>
Note: in the next major stable Inkscape 0.49, the (just recently merged) new dialog for 'Import Clip Art...' will no longer depend on libgnomevfs2-extra (uses GIO instead as backend).
Packages based on the current stable release branch lp:inkscape/0.48.x still do though (there is one more bug-fix release planned before 0.49 gets out later this year, no ETA).
See also bug #734417 and the linked blueprint there.
in that case, seems like this should be fix committed?
This bug was fixed in the package inkscape - 0.48.3.1-0ubuntu2

inkscape (0.48.3.1-0ubuntu2) precise; urgency=low
* promote libgnomevfs2-extra to recommends (lp: #496223)
