Details

After installing texlive-bin (and texlive-core), "pdflatex" fails with:
pdflatex: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The solution was simple, I installed "poppler" and everything works fine.

Therefore I suggest that poppler is added as a dependency.
This task depends upon

Thanks to filing this bug report. I had one more issue with the new update to texlive
fmtutils-sys --all was not run. So was getting the following error.

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Arch Linux)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

So the fix is (run as root)

$ pacman -S poppler
$ fmtutil-sys --all

To fix as suggested by rck include poppler dependency. I dont know why fmutil-sys did not run for me automatically
even after poppler being installed

The dependency is added in the svn repo, and a new updated package will be released in the next few days.
