Package: poppler-utils
Version: 0.6.2-1
Severity: important

Hi,

the pdftops provided by poppler lacks the -cfg command line option.
This makes it incompatible with pdftops from xpdf-utils and also
contradicts the manpage provided by poppler-utils (but that was probably
copied from xpdf and not checked in detail).

As a result this breaks pdf printing from cups (which adds a config file
option on the command line when using pdftops as a filter). And since
cupsys depends on 'poppler-utils | xpdf-utils' nowadays in testing and sid,
pdf printing is broken on new installations by default.

A short grep for 'cfg' in the sources shows a -cfg option in pdftotext,
pdfinfo and pdffonts as well, but no implementation of it.

For cupsys breakage see Bugs #457810, #460624
