I'm sorry. My first try was to call pdfnup this way:

hille@szyslak:~$ pdfnup svn-book.pdf
This is pdfnup version 1.20
Processing svn-book.pdf...
  Temporary LaTeX file for this job is /var/tmp/50023270430499-1.tex
  Calling pdflatex...
  Finished: output is /home/hille/svn-book-2x1.pdf

svn-book.pdf is the SVN book. Do I need a special pdf file to cause
the fault? Which options did you use?

The version of libpoppler0c2 in unstable is actually 0.4.5-5. Does
downgrading to the official version solve your problem?
