Bug#896442: texlive-bin: Please switch back to system poppler



Hi Adrian,

> poppler 0.63.0 is now in unstable.

I tend to not do it. Poppler is a huge PITA, changing APIs permanently.
The current version of sources in TL works with poppler < 0.63,
there are some prepared files (search for -newpoppler) which work with 
0.63, but not anymore with 0.64.

This is a *JOKE* library, and I tend stop using shared poppler libs as
far as possible, since it is simply too much pain for no gain.

I have changed already uptimes back and forth between system and shipped
poppler.

Please complain to the (complete *****) upstream maintainer, but
experience shows that he is well ...

Best

Norbert
