Ivan, thank you for pointing it out.

I'd be surprised if it didn't:

$ ldd -r /usr/bin/inkscape 2>&1 >/dev/null |c++filt 
undefined symbol: GfxResources::lookupShading(char*) (/usr/bin/inkscape)
undefined symbol: GfxColorSpace::parse(Object*)	(/usr/bin/inkscape)
undefined symbol: GfxResources::lookupPattern(char*) (/usr/bin/inkscape)

That happens because libpoppler.so.5 failed to provide backwards
compatibility.

inkview suffers from the same problem.

Simple rebuild of inkscape should cure the crash, but not the problem in
general because libpoppler changes ABI incompatibly from time to time.

2zerg: You have to change soname every time such things happen with
libpoppler.
