Bug#362479: pdflatex: symbol lookup error: pdflatex: undefined symbol: _ZN6PDFDocC1EP9GooStringS1_S1_

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Hi poppler guys,

in Debian, pdftex is using poppler, and it seems here's a bug that's
related to that.  I won't have time to look into this over easter, but
it seems it's a problem with the experimental poppler version

Yes, the bug reporter there had the poppler version installed that's
currently in experimental, whereas pdftex has been compiled with the
unstable version.

Can you provide a minimal example, including the included graphics file?
