I just did a fresh install of 14.04.2 from a newly downloaded 14.04.2
iso. This contains libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu1.1_amd64 and produces the
bug.

I tried Corentin's fix to install the vanilla version, but compiling
crashed with:

dpkg-genchanges: error: cannot read ../libspectre_0.2.7-vanilla-0ubuntu1.dsc: No such file or directory
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2


I've gone through all of the ubuntu versions and this is what I get:

libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu1_amd64 -- White background
libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu1.1_amd64 -- Black background
libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu2_amd64 -- Black background
libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu3_amd64 -- White background

So, version 3 works for me, but that is in 14.04.2. I see GrandVizier
has a new problem in 15.04.

I've attached an example eps file that renders correctly in 14.04.2 with
libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu3_amd64.

Title:
  evince and okular do not render eps files correctly resulting in a
  black background

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in libspectre package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in okular package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Several eps files, which previously rendered correctly, are not
  rendered correctly by evince and okular.  It looks as though something
  is wrong with the "transparency" setting, since most of the
  incorrectly-rendered files have a black background, but the figure can
  somewhat be made out on top of hte black background.  The PDF files I
  have tested are NOT affected.  EPS files that were previously viewable
  correctly ARE affected.

  Thank you for your time.
