Public bug reported:
The security updates 0.62.0-2ubuntu2.11 and 0.41.0-0ubuntu1.15 break the
Splash output rendering, for example if using the xpdf utility that
relies on Poppler splash output, or as used by the GDAL library (the
issue was detected due to breakage in GDAL continuous integration tests)
I've traced the root cause to those security updates enabling in 'rules'
CMYK (--enable-cmyk for 0.41.0-0ubuntu1.15 and -DSPLASH_CMYK=ON for
0.62.0-2ubuntu2.11)
Building without CMYK restore poppler in a working state. It should be
noted that even on the upstream 0.41.0 version, enabling CMYK result in
a non-functional build, so it is not related to the patches applied on
top of it, but really on enabling CMYK
The issue can be verified with "xpdf test_ogc_bp.pdf" with the attached
test_ogc_bp.pdf file. With the new packages, xpdf crashes, whereas with
older ones it displays a 20x20 greyscale image.
Or with "gdal_translate test_ogc_bp.pdf out.png -of PNG" when installing
the "gdal-bin" package, that currently errors out with a message like
"ERROR 1: Bitmap decoded size (18623872x0) doesn't match raster size
(20x20)"
** Affects: poppler (Ubuntu)
