Description Rainer Hurling freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-04-26 09:56:00 UTC 
The newest version 42.2[1] of graphics/evince fails to open pdf files due to graphics/poppler[-glib] being too old. It turns out that poppler version >= 22.02.0 is needed:

Poppler 22.04.0 is on the way (bug #263009).

BTW: evince configure does not seem to be able to properly evaluate the version of textproc/libxml2. It asks for libxml-2.0 version >= 2.5.0, v2.9.13 is present and is not accepted?

Moin moin 

Thanks for the report -- I think I will push poppler-22.04 a bit quicker in that case.

Hi Tobias,

To be honest, I was hoping that this would give the update for Poppler a little more momentum :P

Actually, it should have been noticeable when preparing the update for graphics/evince that the most important file format cannot be supported ...

Thanks for taking care!

    graphics/evince: reinstate PDF backend

    The PDF backend was dropped, as evince was updated to 42.2
    which requires poppler >=22.02 while that one still being
    at 22.01 in fe838ad373e26eb5880b1f3450af1350cf9b5904.

    While here, add missing plist-subs to the @lite plist
