Hi,

Poppler and xpdf conflict with each other in some executable names.

    < godel:~ > port activate poppler @0.6_0
    --->  Activating poppler 0.6_0
    Error: port activate failed: Image error: /opt/local/bin/pdffonts
    is being used by the active xpdf port.  Please deactivate this
    port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation. 

However, evince and gimp2 depend on poppler (so it needs to be there)
and I use xpdf all the time (so I need it).  How does one get around
this problem?

Many thanks in advance,
Stefan
