This was already reported in https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ xpdf/+bug/ 669211 which is a different issue and already close, so that discussion doesn't belong there.
Unfortunately given past ubuntu development interest in xpdf, I doubt anyone will spend the time to figure out a fix for this, so here is your workaround for this cycle...
$ wget http:// us.archive. ubuntu. com/ubuntu/ pool/universe/ x/xpdf/ xpdf_3. 02-21_i386. deb us.archive. ubuntu. com/ubuntu/ pool/main/ p/poppler/ libpoppler13_ 0.16.7- 2ubuntu2_ i386.deb
$ wget http://
$ sudo dpkg -i xpdf_*.deb libpoppler13_*.deb
That installs the known working oneiric xpdf packages.
