Description:
currently in gimp package "poppler-glib" is only an optional dependency, https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/gimp if the user doesn't install poppler-glip package then an error message will occur at start of gimp in the console : /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-pdf-load: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler-glib.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory pdf support seems to be built in gimp package, so the poppler-glib package should a mandatory dependency, not an optional dependency Additional info: * package version(s) gimp 2.8.18-3 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: - install gimp - run gimp in console - you will see an error message "error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler-glib.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" - it's because the gimp package has been built with pdf support which requires the poppler-glib package |
This task depends upon
"Plug-in crashed: "file-pdf-load"
(/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-pdf-load)
The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side."
I think the archlinux packager of gimp has built gimp with the file-pdf-load plugin enabled ( by default ) during the "./configure" step, and in his PC the poppler-glib package was probably installed,
but the mistake here is the PKGBUILD file, as long as gimp is built with "pdf plugin enabled" then the "poppler-glib" package must be a mandatory dependency, it's logical, gimp needs this lib for his pdf plugin
