Details

I've updated to poppler 0.39.0-1 and poppler-glib 0.39.0-1.
Since then, one of my own programs that uses python2-poppler (version 0.12.1-8) fails with:

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/poppler.so: undefined symbol: poppler_orientation_get_type

I thought that python2-poppler might need recompiling for the new version of poppler, but it will not compile: makepkg fails with:

poppler.c: In function ‘py_poppler_add_constants’:
poppler.c:4575:53: error: ‘POPPLER_TYPE_ORIENTATION’ undeclared (first use in this function)
pyg_enum_add(module, "Orientation", strip_prefix, POPPLER_TYPE_ORIENTATION);

It looks to me like poppler has removed some function that this depends on.
This task depends upon

Gentoo is using the following patch to fix the issue.

Thanks for the heads-up, I was in conversation to give this package up to the maintainer of gourmet, and it seems this upstream has no activity. We'll keep the package if the patch applies.

The patch from Guillaume fixes both the compilation issue and the undefined symbol error at runtime.

With python2-poppler 0.12.1-8 from [community]:

~$ python2 -c 'import poppler'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/poppler.so: undefined symbol: poppler_orientation_get_type

After rebuilding with the above patch:

~$ python2 -c 'import poppler'
~$

Is this patch going to be applied?
