Hi Adib!

I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Thanks for asking about sources. In response to your questions, I removed the cafuego PPA from Ubuntu software sources, Then installed Inkscape trunk 0.48.3.1 r9886 from Ubuntu software center.

Knotter error messages still result but Inkscape is working properly. ( perhaps there is still some reference to knotter in the install/uninstall script?)

Here's the history of install/reinstall (with Ubuntu software center, not 'sudo apt-get install'): - added cafuego PPA - upgraded from 0.48.3.1-ubuntu1.1 to 0.49-devel-12340+11~precise (may 25) - 0.49-devel-12346 (jun 02) - 0.49.-devel-12347 (jun 06) - inset/outset errors - 0.49.-devel-12362 (jun 11) - 0.49.-devel-12370 (jun 12) - knotter error messages - removed cafuego PPA (today) - uninstalled 0.49-devel-12370 - knotter error messages - not 'real' errors? - installed 0.48.3.1 r9886 - knotter error messages - not 'real' errors? - uninstalled 0.48.3.1 r9886 - knotter error messages - not 'real' errors? - reinstalled 0.48.3.1 r9886 - knotter error messages - not 'real' errors? *Inkscape appears to have installed properly because it runs fine (so far).*

Hello Susan,

could you specify which version of Ubuntu and which version of Inkscape you combined?

Ubuntu: I assume you used the 12.04 LTS version also a list of you additional package source the time you installed inkscape would be helpfull.

Inkscape: please specify the source where you get inkscape from? Which PPA did you use or did you installed a .deb package?

Best regards,

Adib.

Today's Inkscape update resulted in an error on my laptop with Ubuntu 12.04. If no one else can corroborate problems with today's Ubuntu Software Center Inkscape update then I won't post it on Launchpad.

It's entirely possible that it's my specific installation of Inkscape, given the recent problem with outsets/insets after installing nightly build/uninstalling/reinstalling from Ubuntu ppa. (That problem went away sometime during the past week.)

So, anybody else get this on Ubuntu 12.04 (or other Ubuntu version) during today's Software Center package update?
