Confirming the bug with Ubuntu Precise amd64.

After trying various fixes posted on the web and totally wrecking my
package system (mixing in i386 packages by mistake), for me finally
worked in Ubuntu Precise _64bit_ version:

$ apt-get purge libpoppler19*

$ wget 
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/poppler/libpoppler13_0.16.7-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb
$ wget 
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xpdf/xpdf_3.02-21_amd64.deb

$ sudo dpkg -i libpoppler13_0.16.7-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i xpdf_3.02-21_amd64.deb

Now there's a little catch to this because with daily ubuntu updates,
the package manager will try to re-build xpdf against libpoppler19,
which breaks xpdf again. To prevent this, put the xpdf package on hold
via

$ echo "xpdf hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections

This can be undone with

$ echo "xpdf install" | sudo dpkg --set-selections

To check the status:

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep xpdf

Done! ;-)


Good luck all!
