Today's update of my stable x86 system generated a request from 'emerge' to keyword app-text/poppler to 0.18.0. After doing so, revdep-rebuild rebuilt all poppler dependencies except libreoffice, which crashes during compilation.

Created attachment 290281 [details] The final part of the build log
This bug is probably similar if not identical to bug 385111 et. al; except it's for a different minor version. Unsure if the patch will be backported to 3.3.4 or if a 3.4 version will be stabilized?
This is not a bug, if you use popler that is broken even in testing tree on your stable machine things will break. What did pull the 0.18.0 poppler to your depgraph, i can't find anything in stable tree pulling this version... Note that I won't backport 0.18 poppler patches for 3.3 series.
I can confirm the patch from bug #384933 is applicable to libreoffice-3.3.4 and makes it compilable. I've been also dragged by emerge to unmask poppler-0.18.0 by keyword (on amd64) because somebody has unstabilized app-text/xpdf-3.02-r4, the only ebuild in tree (except the live one) to hard-require >=app-text/poppler-0.18.0.

See Nick Bowler's comment in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384009 There are two issue here, Nick's comment (is that how bugs get fixed in the stable tree, by removing packages) and the bigger one, emerge did not tell me what the problem was when I synced. What it said was (paraphrasing) 'if you want to upgrade this system, you must keyword poppler-0.18.0 now'. To be honest, the last thing I wanted to do was keyword poppler. However, I was given no choice by portage, keyword or no update.
Thanks to Petr's comment, I unmerged xpdf and downgraded back to the stable poppler. As one of the few remaining stable x86 users, I'm getting used to seeing things no one else sees. The right fix would have been an 'eselect news' item when xpdf went unstable. Anyway, since this turned out to be an xpdf / portage issue and not a LibreOffice bug, feel free to close this bug. Thanks.
> Anyway, since this turned out to be an xpdf / portage issue and not a > LibreOffice bug, feel free to close this bug. Thanks. I was about to file a bug which is related to this issue. I think that this is still an (unresolved) bug with portage / xpdf Updating word says: The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed: #required by app-office/libreoffice-3.3.4, required by @selected, required by @world (argument) >=app-text/poppler-0.18.0 ~amd64 On the other hand, the dependence for poppler-0.18.0 is added by xpdf and not by libreoffice It took me some time to diagnose the problem, but I have no idea what is causing this. In any case, unmerging xpdf solves the issue.
Yeah bug is really on xpdf side, but the question is, do you really use xpdf, can't you use evince/okular? :) Also there is xpdf-3.03 released so it might be cool to pack that instead of the poppler fork :)
> Yeah bug is really on xpdf side, but the question is, do you really use xpdf, > can't you use evince/okular? :) I agree: I do not need xpdf at all. Nevertheless I believe it is annoying that portage gives the erroneous indication that >=app-text/poppler-0.18.0 is pulled in by libreoffice, while the dependence is actually coming from xpdf. I cannot trace why this is happening; can we exclude that a similar erroneous indication might occur also in other situations?
Yesterday, I have run a relatively minimal fresh install with Xorg, Firefox and LibreOffice with only stable packages. Poppler-0.16 gets automatically pulled by LibreOffice-3.3.4. I was under the impression that this bug is not going to be fixed in the LibreOffice-3.3 series ebuilds but as it turns out the ebuild applies a patch to work with poppler-0.18! I find this completely unacceptable.
This bug is fixed in main tree by fixed patch. Also starting from 3.4.4.2 the dependency on poppler is removed.
