Description Soroosh Yazdani 2008-12-17 19:07:06 UTC

After upgrading from evince-2.22 to evince-2.24, evince was unable to open pdf files. The issue, at least on my computer, seems to be that poppler wasn't upgraded. Upgrading to poppler-binding-0.10, the problem is resolved. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a computer with evince-2.22 installed and poppler-binding-0.8
2. Run 'USE="~amd64" emerge evince', to upgrade to evince-2.24
3. Now try opening a pdf file

Actual Results:  
it fails

Expected Results:  
open the pdf file

The ebuild is dependant on poppler-binding-0.8 or greater, but somehow on my computer that dependancy doesn't seem to be enough. In my case, changing the ebuild dependancy to poppler-binding-0.10 will solve the problem.

I just tested evince 2.24.2 with my (not-upgraded and stable) poppler-bindings-0.8.7, and it works fine for opening PDFs.  Could you try downgrading your poppler/poppler bindings again?  I'm guessing there was some left-over crap and just rebuilding would have been enough.

You're right. After downgrading to poppler and poppler-binding-0.8.7, evince still works.

Thanks, and sorry for invalid report. I'm changing the resolution to fixed. I hope that's the right resolution.
