I suspect you can't use your 1.3.4 document in 1.3.3.x. But you probably can 
go forward to 1.3.5svn and  rescue it there.  That is a long process and 
requires that you get cairo2-dev and python-dev. I just went through all that 
on Kubuntu unstable.  The compile takes hours.  But it seems to work.
