Hi,
I use Etch x86_64.
My xpdf (3.01-9.1+etch5) was working all right until now, before it
suddenly started giving a Segmentation Fault. I wonder if this has
happened to anyone before.

a problem to run on x86_64 -- but I have
I don't know the timing, but I wonder if it could be as simple as

Probably you are right. I did the right thing at the wrong time. And
spent hours on searching a problem which didn't exist.
Nevertheless, thank you for your help.

According to what you posted earlier today, apt doesn't know about
2007.dfsg.2-1 yet. Assuming you are on Lenny/Sid you might try "aptitude
update" to resolve that.
Or better: It doesn't know about 2007.dfsg.2-1 anymore. Because it did
know and downloaded the version.

means of ready-to-install packages, is a most convenient feature.
However, time comes when a package is not available, and then it becomes
worthwhile to try a basic compile of a generic package, usually
