Comment 63 for bug 669211

And to be precise: it can be used with the original xpdf-packages from ubuntu. The SEGV-bug was only in the poppler-libs. I also tried compiling from source and it also worked. This means: for those of you who need xpdf we now have 2 workarounds: install libpoppler by hand, either from the oneiric-URL or by taking the sources from there and doing a dpkg-buildpackage:

cd /tmp
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/poppler/poppler_0.16.7.orig.tar.gz
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/poppler/poppler_0.16.7-2ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz
tar zxf poppler_0.16.7.orig.tar.gz
cd poppler-0.16.7
tar zxf ../poppler_0.16.7-2ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz
dpkg-buildpackage
(this process will tell you, what else you might need, libs, devs whatever)
afterwards:
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i libpoppler13_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-cpp0_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-cpp-dev_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-dev_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-glib6_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-glib-dev_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-qt4-3_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-qt4-dev_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb poppler-dbg_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb poppler-utils_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb

This might be a bit more than you need but at least, afterwards xpdf runs quite fine!
