Bug#779058: pdfsam: Null pointer exception when starting pdfsam

[Robert Alm Nilsson]

Package: pdfsam
Version: 1.1.4-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer, when I start pdfsam I get this output in the console
while there is a graphical window containing the same information and
a button to exit the program.  I just installed it and then tried to
start it by typing "pdfsam".

This is the output:
