I'm well aware it will break packages. I'm also well aware that GNOME 3.2 has broken my installation inside Debian, but you guys hide behind (Experimental) when it's convenient and behind Stable as a last resort when you declare Sid to be (Unstable) and thus one should use Stable.

I'm more interested in bringing attention to the dependent library that so many growing packages rely on and that one should rebuild those apps against a more stable solution poppler 0.18.x branch than the prior stable branch.

I'm not holding a gun to anyone's head, just pointing out that 4 weeks most likely or more will have passed before you get around to updating.

But since you pointed out Evince it relies upon a custom version so as not to be held back and that seems to me, like Okular, counter-intuitive to the concept of shared libraries.

I'm not going to die if poppler isn't current. I'll just wait and when it's out rebuild Scribus to test and file more bugs against.

No harm, no foul.

No, we're discussing how introducing poppler 0.18 in Debian unstable
*right now* would break a dozen of other sources, including cups, gimp,
evince.

I understood you need poppler 0.18 for something, but you should please
also understand poppler 0.18 at the moment is *not* feasible for Debian
unstable (which does not mean "can be broken at will").
