Description Stefan Brüns 2012-09-24 17:25:20 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0

libpoppler-glib8 as shipped with 12.1 is linked against libpoppler.so.18, whereas the version provided in KDE:Release:49 is linked against libpoppler.so.26/27.

The later versions are binary incompatible with the older one, as the layout of a class (PdfDoc::Catalog) has changed recently:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/commit/poppler/Catalog.h?id=7d794f6411499fb8f26778bf2b54cb9734d004af

This leads to a crash when trying to import a PDF in inkscape, as inkscape is also linked directly against libpoppler.so.18.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
open a PDF from the open dialog in inkscape
Actual Results:  
crash

Sorry, but maintaining compatibility with any count of arbitrary OBS repository is impossible. There are too many variations to consider.
