Comment (by dbevans):

 Poppler is regularly changing their core library, libpoppler, which often
 results in minor API changes.  This only effects libpoppler itself and not
 the higher level bindings such as libpoppler-glib which remain stable.
 For this reason, the poppler developers recommend other projects avoid
 using libpoppler and stick to the higher level bindings (which most
 developers do).  At this point there are only a half a dozen ports that
 directly use libpoppler and need revbumps when poppler is updated.
 Currently all these ports have been fixed either by me or upstream with
 the exception of scribus-devel which is waiting an upstream fix. So
 reverting poppler is really not appropriate at this time.

 I'll take a look at this port in more details to diagnose what exactly is
 going on here but its likely that this problem will need attention
 upstream by the pdfpc developers.  As maintainer of this port please make
 sure that upstream is aware and working on the issue.
