Description ftigeot 2013-06-20 20:20:01 UTC 
Both graphics/poppler and graphics/xpdf try to install some conflicting files.

These are:
  man/man1/pdfdetach.1.gz
  man/man1/pdffonts.1.gz
  man/man1/pdfimages.1.gz
  man/man1/pdfinfo.1.gz
  man/man1/pdftoppm.1.gz
  man/man1/pdftops.1.gz
  man/man1/pdftotext.1.gz

Since poppler is based on xpdf and better maintained, I propose to remove these files (and the associated utilities) from the xpdf port.

Fix: Apply the attached patch to /usr/ports/graphics/xpdf

Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: Try to install both poppler and xpdf:

# pkg install xpdf        
Updating repository catalogue
Repository catalogue is up-to-date, no need to fetch fresh copy
The following packages will be installed:

        Reinstalling xpdf-3.03_3

The installation will require 8 MB more space

0 B to be downloaded

Proceed with installing packages [y/N]: y
Checking integrity...pkg: WARNING: locally installed poppler-utils-0.22.2 conflicts on /usr/local/man/man1/pdfdetach.1.gz with:
        - xpdf-3.03_3

etc...

Is this PR still relevant?
Comment 3 ftigeot 2014-09-14 11:03:23 UTC 
Given graphics/xpdf is not fetchable any more, the point has become moot.

I now use graphics/mupdf as pdf viewer.
