[gentoo-user] poppler - how to update it elegantly?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi, my most hated package is poppler. Each time in the past and now  
again it's hard to upgrade.

portage (2.2.7) cannot handle it, so I have to (manually) unmerge all  
packages depending on it and emerge them after
the poppler upgrade again.
Has anybody found a more elegant procedure?

Many thanks,
Helmut.
