please remove libpoppler-private-dev dependency from libpoppler-dev

[Pino Toscano]

After the move of all the libpoppler private headers from libpoppler-dev to libpoppler-private-dev two years ago in Debian, I took care to having all the sources fixed in Debian within the Wheezy freeze. Hence, for almost two years, there were no sources in Debian using the private libpoppler and not build-depending on libpoppler-private-dev.

On the other hand, somebody in Ubuntu added the aforementioned dependency to "easy a transition", without actually checking it was still an issue, and introducing a circular dependency (libpoppler-private-dev -> libpoppler-dev, and libpoppler-dev -> libpoppler-private-dev).
Please remove this dependency. If there are still sources affected by this (which should not happen to anything being synchronized from Debian), then the solution is to just change the build dependency from libpoppler-dev to libpoppler-private-dev.

Thanks,
Pino (the current poppler maintainer in Debian)

Thanks Pino. I didn't look too deeply when I did the merge just now but I will take care of removing this.

This bug was fixed in the package poppler - 0.26.0-1ubuntu2

---------------
poppler (0.26.0-1ubuntu2) utopic; urgency=medium

  * Don't have libpoppler-dev depend on libpoppler-private-dev. If a package
    needs this to build then it should Build-Depend on libpoppler-private-dev
    directly. (LP: #1325174)
