AI and EPS file open correctly

Could you please launch Inkscape from a terminal, and paste the console message here when opening or importing of the mentioned files fails?

I suspect that the issue is related to poppler, and how the package you have currently installed had been configured: maybe your distro has changed the packaging of the poppler library and no longer includes the xpdf header files which Inkscape requires to import PDF files, or possibly you have upgrade to a different poppler version from another PPA?
