Title:
  Regression: PDF files created with Inkscape are crashing Xelatex

Status in cairo package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in cairo package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 12.10 the PDF files created by Inkscape are causing Xelatex to crash. This happens when a figure includes gradients. The compilation process exits with the message:
  ** ERROR ** pdf_link_obj(): passed invalid object

  As discussed in this thread, the error seems to appear for PDF file with broken references:
  http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2010-December/019653.html

  Such files seem to be fixed by running "pdftk". The version number of
  inkscape in 12.04 and 12.10 didn't change though, the libpoppler and
  cairo libraries did, so the error might be located there...

  Steps to reproduce:
  Create a figure with a gradient in Inkscape and save it as PDF. Include this PDF in a latex document and try  to compile it with xelatex.
