Description Rodrigo Lazo 2012-03-08 22:03:47 UTC
In version 0.1.0 zathura has been rewritten to use a plugin system for all document processing, so a "plain" zathura installation cannot display any document. While there is the app-text/zathura-pdf-poppler plugin in portage, when emerging zathura, there is no indication that you need to install it to display pdf documents.

Trying to use zathura without plugins just renders a black screen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install zathura 0.1.0 without installing zathura-pdf-poppler
2. Try to open a pdf document
3.
Actual Results:  
Document is not rendered.

Expected Results:  
After emerging the package, a message warning that you need to install plugins to display a pdf document would be nice.

Actually pkg_postinst() hints at this.

already handled from bug 405289 with pkg_postinst() message
