Hello Richard,


I did 'apt-get update' followed by re-launching Synaptic.


What's wrong with Synaptic's "Reload" button?



I believe a wise guru has said:
"The blindingly obvious is never immediately apparent"

IOW Mr. Sánchez had mentioned 'apt-get update' ;/

Where should it be reported?


There is nothing to report:

$ apt-cache policy libpoppler-qt5-1
libpoppler-qt5-1:
   Installed: (none)
   Candidate: 0.48.0-2+deb9u2

The current version is 0.48.0-2+deb9u2 but your system thinks it is
0.48.0-2+deb9u1. You need to update your package cache (from the command
line it is 'apt-get update', I am not sure about synaptic).

Once the 0.48.0-2+deb9u2 package was uploaded the old version,
0.48.0-2+deb9u1, was not referred to by any Debian release and the
archive software eventually cleaned it out.

I did 'apt-get update' followed by re-launching Synaptic.
Synaptic warned of me of a "a broken package", prompting me to fix it.
I did and then clicked "Apply".
Synaptic was now happy.
Thank you.
I'll be able to reboot shortly to see if all OK.
