Install poppler-data by default

[Albert Astals Cid]

Since poppler-data is no longer "non free" it should be part of the default install (or at least a direct dependency of poppler itself) since otherwise there are files that won't be readable.

poppler-data is quite huge and would make CDs overflow, that's why we don't install it for every language. But we do install it if you select Arabic, Japanese, Korean, or Chinese language (through language-selector). Do you use a language which also needs it which is not in that list? I'm happy to add that then.

Thanks!

poppler-data can be needed for any kind of file, not just Arabic, Japanese, Korean, or Chinese language ones.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Discussed on IRC; we can change l-s to pull in poppler-data for all languages; latin speakers who don't look at documents using obsolete CJK encodings will probably hardly ever miss it, but as long as evince doesn't install it on demand it's probably safer to add it.

For the record a PDF that needs poppler-data http://www.hitachi-ies.co.jp/english/catalog_library/pdf/SB-E082QBEBICON.pdf
I am sure latin speakers miss poppler-data when looking at it

This bug was fixed in the package language-selector - 0.66

---------------
language-selector (0.66) precise; urgency=low

  * LanguageSelector/LangCache.py, tests/test_lang_cache.py: Drop some dead
    code.
  * data/pkg_depends: Install poppler-data for all languages. (LP: #893920)
  * tests/test_language_support_pkgs.py: Fix test case for a package which is
    not a pattern, but a full name ("chromium-browser-l10n").
  * language_support_pkgs.py: Also consider the pattern itself a package name.
    Fixes installation of chromium-browser-l10n and poppler-data.
  * tests/test-data/etc/apt/sources.list*: Use precise.
  * tests/test_lang_cache.py: Update the cache before the tests, so that they
    can actually succeed.
