Ok, then it's upstream's thing (they did the build in August, but in early September there was the relevant poppler transition in Ubuntu artful - regular business in a development release); reassigning back, they only need to do a no-change (well, bumping the version) upload to artful.
Please consider the provide of the binaries every time you file a bug unless it's clear what it is referring to. BTW, IMHO there is no need to use the PPA in artful, as the version is the very same and the differences in the building negligible. ** Package changed: inkscape (Ubuntu) => inkscape -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu.

The libpoppler64 package has been replaced by the libpoppler68 package (https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/libpoppler68) on Ubuntu 17.10. A suggested fix would be to install libpoppler68, and if that is unavailable, use libpoppler64.
