You uploaded pdftohtml to p-u and I accepted it very recently.  Sadly it
causes xpdf to be removed from systems, because it has a strictly
versionned dependency on xpdf-utils.  That package is provided by
poppler-utils, but the version numbers do not match up.

So it would be appreciated if you could upload an xpdf version with that
dependency relaxed, or even converted to poppler-utils.

Kind regards,
