On building poppler

[Ruben Di Battista]

Hi Dave, 

That is standard practice. I don’t know the real reason for it, didn’t bother to investigate, but you just need to follow what is written there: that is deactivating Poppler before upgrading it. 

`sudo port -f deactivate popper`
`sudo port upgrade popper`.

I guess it is a safety measure to avoid breaking running programs? I guess.  Here: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/58574 there’s probably the long answer to that :)
