Comment 11 for bug 943195

@David: No one claimed that xpdf is useless -- it is just "only" community supported, i.e. in universe and not in main. The status has been set to "Medium" automatically by apport, as it does for all crash reports. The correct status would actually be "High" ("Prevents the application or any dependencies from functioning correctly at all ") but only someone with BugControl privileges can change the importance. However, I doubt this will make this problem go away any sooner... Note that xpdf has *not* been replaced with a new version, the poppler library has changed and simply rebuilding xpdf was not enough, obviously. It is worth looking at the Debian package for xpdf in debian experimental (maintained by Michael Gilbert who commented on some of the crash reports here in launchpad) that *seems* to be working with the same poppler version that Ubuntu is using.
