Bug 304035 – app-text/poppler-0.12.3-r3 could have ewarn to notify reverse deps might need to be recompiled

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Luke-Jr 2010-02-08 17:17:21 UTC]

I can't view PDFs since Portage upgraded me from dev-libs/poppler-qt4-0.10.7 to app-text/poppler-0.12.3-r3
Downgrading restores Okular functionality.

[Comment 1 Rafał Mużyło 2010-02-08 18:06:32 UTC]

Did you try to rebuild okular after poppler upgrade ?

[Comment 2 Gordon Pettey 2010-02-08 22:32:17 UTC]

Adding USE="lcms" to poppler packages should fix it. This should be marked duplicate of #296170.

I've got the same problem. After the update, poppler broke the pdf functionality of okular and in addition xpdf stopped working.

poppler is compiled with the following use flags: 

abiword cairo doc jpeg lcms png qt4 utils xpdf-headers -cjk -debug -exceptions -jpeg2k

revdep-rebuild tried to rebuild xpdf and okular, but the rebuild of xpdf already stops:

GlobalParams.cc: In member function ‘CMap* GlobalParams::getCMap(GooString*, GooString*)’:
GlobalParams.cc:2831: error: no matching function for call to ‘CMapCache::getCMap(GooString*&, GooString*&)’
/usr/include/poppler/CMap.h:119: note: candidates are: CMap* CMapCache::getCMap(GooString*, GooString*, Stream*)
make: *** [GlobalParams.o] Error 1

[...]

This is not a dupe of #296170. I already have USE=lcms
[ebuild   R   ] app-text/poppler-0.12.3-r3  USE="abiword jpeg jpeg2k lcms png qt4 utils xpdf-headers -cairo -cjk -debug -doc -exceptions" 0 kB

Just rebuild okular after installing new poppler.  revdep-rebuild could do that for you.

[Comment 6 Luke-Jr 2010-02-09 06:55:57 UTC]

revdep-rebuild has no interest in rebuilding it...

revdep-rebuild correctly identifies the broken packages, in my case xpdf, okular, and inkscape (all of which require poppler).

Then it tries to rebuild xpdf - the result I described above.

The manual rebuild of okular and inkscape worked for me: Both programs can handle PDFs now.

However, xpdf remains broken with the current version of poppler.

[Comment 8 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-02-10 21:25:12 UTC]

I've fixed *all* okular ebuilds in tree to,

okular-4.3.3.ebuild: pdf? ( >=app-text/poppler-0.12.3-r3[lcms,qt4] )
okular-4.3.4.ebuild: pdf? ( >=app-text/poppler-0.12.3-r3[lcms,qt4] )
okular-4.3.5.ebuild: pdf? ( >=app-text/poppler-0.12.3-r3[lcms,qt4] )
okular-4.4.0.ebuild: pdf? ( >=app-text/poppler-0.12.3-r3[lcms,qt4] )

And this bug is *only* for okular, not other random poppler failures.

Is okular now working for everyone, with lcms enabled, and okular recompiled?

[Comment 9 Luke-Jr 2010-02-10 21:31:25 UTC]

There is no sign to suggest recompiling okular is needed currently. If there is no other sane method, ewarn is in order...

[Comment 10 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-02-10 21:37:48 UTC]

yngwin, please see last comment, perhaps something like:

ewarn 'You might need to recompile reverse deps after poppler upgrade.'
ewarn 'If you have gentoolkit installed, you can use `equery d poppler`'
ewarn 'to find out these deps.'

similar to what dev-python/sip has...

[Comment 11 Luke-Jr 2010-02-10 21:43:30 UTC]

I don't suppose the .so version could be bumped or something to tip off revdep-rebuild/@preserved-libs

Upstream needs to do that too... so not easily

[Comment 13 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) 2010-02-11 00:31:22 UTC]

Ewarn added. Thanks!
