postscript viewer gv profoundly broken

gpw928

gpw928

Does anyone else use gv(1) package to view postscript?
Code: 
[strand.285] $ pkg provides "/usr/local/bin/gv$"
Name    : gv-3.7.4_7
Comment : PostScript and PDF previewer
Repo    : FreeBSD
Filename: usr/local/bin/gv
Is it working for you?

On FreeBSD 13.5 and FreeBSD 14.2, my experience is that gv (installed from the standard package) now always spits out the diagnostic Warning: Representation size 4 must match superclass's to override highlightedFrameStyle and then goes into an infinite loop, flat-lining one CPU, and never terminates.

Is it working for anyone?
 
I get the same message. But no endless loop. I get SIGBUS after some CPU time.

Code: 
Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
Object-specific hardware error.

This is the package from 15-current.
 
It seems that no bugs have been reported.
Comment 3 seems to be wrong.
Try the following patch:

That fixed it. Thank you.

I see that the gv port has dependencies in the INDEX for python312 and py312-packaging, neither of which seem to exist as packages, which seems odd.

[I generally install the dependencies as packages to keep the time and effort to compile and manage the port under control.]
