Hi,

Possible problem converting SVG to PDF.

Work Around

$ cd images
$ inkscape -z drawing.svg
--export-pdf=/home/username/temp/images/m_k_i_v_drawing.svg.pdf
$ cd ..
$ context test.tex

No errors.

Any ideas how to fix, without manually converting each file first?

$ inkscape -V

I'm not sure if this version of Inkscape is at fault. It'd be cool if
there was a way to specify the SVG to PDF converter program (e.g., to
use rsvg-converter instead) from the command line.

Please don't cross-post. See my detailed reply at:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/321837/323

For Hans: There is a bug in graph-inc.lua. You need to remove `-A` from 
programs.inkscape:

programs.inkscape = {
     command  = "inkscape",
     pdfargument = [[
         "%oldname%"
         --export-dpi=600
         --export-pdf="%newname%"
     ]],
     pngargument = [[
         "%oldname%"
         --export-dpi=600
         --export-png="%newname%"
     ]],
}

-A and --export-pdf are synonyms. When inkscape -A --export-pdf="..." is 
used, inkscape thinks that `--export-pdf="..."` is the filename (but only 
if "..." is not in the current directory, weird).
