Hi, I just looked at the diff from poppler-0.16 (which is eol) to poppler-0.18. They dropped support for qt3, so updating poppler to -0.18 will break some kde3 related ports (x11/kde/graphics3, x11/kde/office3, x11/tellico).
I could try to disable poppler for these three ports. Any better ideas? CIao, Kili
