I ran into this bug trying to use Inkscape on Ubuntu 18.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1083936
It is caused by the Scribus PPA, which contains an updated libpoppler that is incompatible with other apps on 18.04, including Inkscape. The libpoppler package itself is properly versioned, which allows multiple ABI versions to coexist. E.g., libpoppler-glib8 0.74.0-0ubuntu1.2~ppa0 depends on libpoppler85. The version of libpoppler-glib8 (0.62.0-2ubuntu2.10) which comes with the OS depends on libpoppler73. Unfortunately, libpoppler-glib8 gets updated by the Scribus PPA. And because inkscape depends on libpoppler-glib8, which drags in the libpoppler85 library, it then crashes. Would it be possible to name the libpoppler-glib8 with the ABI number in the PPA, e.g. libpoppler85-glib8, to avoid this clash? For good measure, libpoppler-qt5-1 probably needs the same treatment. The alternative would be to run newer versions of Scribus as snaps, appimage or flatpak on stable releases of Ubuntu, but I've never been a great fan of those because each comes with it's own issues.
