The missing piece of the puzzle here, is that this pulls up a bit of legacy naming problem. evince, etc. have depended on "CSWpoppler" for a long time now. The problem is that the actual contents of the package, would more accurately be described as "libpoppler". One way of getting us closer to sanity, would be to take the following steps. 1. Create new "libpoppler" packages, and submit them as official packages. (I unfortunately had to wipe the old ones), for conflicts of some sort. 2. Create an empty CSWpoppler and submit that for now also. This would have the benefit of getting newer versions of the poppler libs into our existing evince packages, and potentialy allowing newer ones to be built, too 3. recompile evince, and the handful of other things currently depending on "CSWpoppler", to properly depend on CSWlibpoppler _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
