Package: r-cran-cairo
Version: 1.5-12.2-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: robm...@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
I recently ran an R plotting script for the first time in about 6 months.
This script uses the r-cran-cairo package to save the plot as a PDF file, and I expected it to produce a PDF file as per usual.
But when the script called the CairoPDF() function, the script terminated with the following error message:
Graphics API version mismatch
Calls: <Anonymous> -> CairoPDF -> Cairo
Execution halted
I managed to run the script successfully by building and installing the package from within R using the following command:
install.packages('Cairo')
So I suspect the r-cran-cairo package needs to be recompiled against the current libcairo2 package.
All the best,
Rob

I just uploaded a new changelog revision (1.5-12.2-2) for cairo so it rebuild with the right set of deps.
It will be in testing in the next couple of days, it'd be great if you could test the new one, then.
Thanks for reporting,
Nilesh

Actually, the graphics API change is due to R-base package v4.1.1-2 (as seen in your system info as well), they changed the graphics API, and the package needs to rebuild against new R.
I just uploaded a new changelog revision (1.5-12.2-2) for cairo so it rebuild with the right set of deps.
It will be in testing in the next couple of days, it'd be great if you could test the new one, then.
