Bug#1145653: gnuplot: pdfcairo and postscript terminals stopped working

[alberto maurizi]

Package: gnuplot
Version: 6.0.3+dfsg1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

some days ago, say mid august, I wrote and useds some scripts to produce pdf
figures. After some upgrade (don't know exactly when, but I found the
problem on 24th or 25th of august) the pdfcairo terminal produced invalid
pdf files (with the same, unmodified script). I tried moving to the
postscript with eps option but the plot is empty.

I tested png and it works (but of course it is not a solution as it produces
a bitmap).

So far, the only way is to save a pdf from the menu but the problem with the
"terminal" statement in the script remains.

Thank you for you time.

Alberto
