[Bug 364319] [NEW] pstoedit cannot convert to SVG any more

[thsths]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pstoedit

pstoedit used to be able to convert to the SVG format with libplot. Now
it no longer links against libplot, and so all output formats only
available via libplot do not work any more.

Example:

$ pstoedit -f svg fig.eps
pstoedit: version 3.45 / DLL interface 108 (build Jan 21 2009 - release build - g++ 4.3.3 20090119 (prerelease)) : Copyright (C) 1993 - 2007 Wolfgang Glunz
Unsupported output format svg
Available formats :
...

This causes the SVG import in inkscape to fail, so it is a serious
problem.

Debian (upstream?) does not have the same problem:

About me: 
I am using an up to date (not quite released) Jaunty installation on AMD64.
