sanitize error: IndexError: list index out of range

[maxlath]

running pdf-redact-tools --sanitize an-untrusted.pdf I got the following error:

Converting PDF to PNGs
Flattening PNGs
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pdf-redact-tools", line 178, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/pdf-redact-tools", line 170, in main
    if pdfrt.explode():
  File "/usr/bin/pdf-redact-tools", line 83, in explode
    filename_template = os.path.join(self.pages_dirname, filenames[0].replace('-0.png', '-{}.png'))
IndexError: list index out of range

It's a 5 Mo file, could that be too large for this operation? Any other clue on what could be the issue?

context:

• Ubuntu 14.10
• pdf-redact-tools installed from built .deb package

thanks in advance!

It looks a bit more like filenames is an empty list, thus there's no valid index. It's filled with the list of files in a directory... it must have somehow been filled with an empty directory?
