Erm yes, isn't it a little weird that the application the fixed xpdf is intended for (tex) needs to be deinstalled to allow fixing?! ;-)
I have to admit this is a little drawback of the described method. The packages got deinstalled and needed to be reinstalled separately. However, I preferred reintalling cups and tex over not being able to use xpdf at all... ;-)
