Okular should depend on poppler-data

[Ian McDonald]

Binary package hint: okular

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and find a number of PDFs do not render correctly. After doing some analysis and working with people I found that this is because the poppler-data package is not installed. Once this is installed the issue goes away.

As such I believe the okular package should change from suggesting poppler-data to depending on it.

same for evince see Bug #470157

[sam tygier (samtygier)]

please don't change the status without a comment/explanation. evince needs poppler-data to be able to display many PDF files.

Sorry about not providing an explanation, but isn't this bug just for Okular?

The poppler-data bug for Evince is covered in bug 616321.

thank. sorry i did not see bug 616321

Adding poppler-data to Depends or Recommends is a reasonable solution, and some other information is available in Bug 200446.

Please consider to give this a fix, it's not so hard.

I would strongly go for Depends. It's clear that there is quite a few PDFs that don't render correctly without it and it doesn't create a good impression.
