Oh, I see. By the way, I have some doubts about this update that I wanted
to ask you.
poppler-glib now needs cairo support (it is supposed to have a configure
flag to disable it, but then the glib support build breaks).
What I did was to enable the cairo backend in the poppler-glib package so
that this package installs now both things. Not very clean, I know, but I
didn't create a different package (poppler-cairo) because all the cairo
backend enables at _installation_ time is an extra .pc files. During the
build, things are compiled statically into the other libraries (the glib on=
e).
Would you like to review it overall?

I haven't really checked... will do. GNOME 2.14.0 comes with evince
0.5.2, so I assumed it needed poppler 0.5.x without trying.

You're welcome.
