Solution
Solution
For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 0.21.5-3~deb7u1. This update is based on a new upstream version of unrtf including additional bug fixes, new features and incompatible changes (especially PostScript support is dropped). For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 0.21.5-2. We recommend that you upgrade your unrtf packages.
