Bug ID: 446309
Summary: Poppler on KDE Neon is very outdated, "Could not open"
a PDF from DocuSign
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Packages User Edition
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org
Reporter: wolfgangmcq+acct-bugs.kde....@gmail.com
CC: j...@jriddell.org, neon-b...@kde.org, sit...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Poppler on KDE Neon is out of date; this has been identified as the probable
cause on a complaint that some PDFs can't be opened:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444297#c10 (which describes it as "an
ancient poppler").
This was split from https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444297 where I was
complaining more generally about the unhelpfulness of the resulting error
message; now that we have a shareable test case and an idea of what the problem
is I'm creating this bug to see about getting it fixed. There seems to be
precedent for this, it looks like Poppler was updated on top of the previous
LTS that Neon was built on: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407830
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to open this file: https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=144098 with
the Okular that comes with KDE Neon
OBSERVED RESULT
Error dialog, "Could not open file:///tmp/test-docusign-problem.pdf"
EXPECTED RESULT
Looks like https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=144099
