Texworks starts correctly when no pdf related to the tex file exists; after typesetting the tex file texworks crashes; after that, texworks cannot be opened on that particular tex file, it crashes immediately, until the pdf file is deleted. Opening a pdf file with texworks crashes texworks immediately. The LaTeX log show no errors and the output is produced correctly. This leads to the conclusion that the pdf viewer component of texworks crashes the program. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? - updating the system to the latest unstable level didn't show an effect. The error must have been introduced in the last four weeks, because before then, everything was working as expected. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.10 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages texworks depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u10 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.2-10 ii libhunspell-1.3-0 1.3.3-3 ii libpoppler-qt4-4 0.48.0-2~bpo8 ii libpoppler46 0.26.5-2+deb8u2 ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1 ii libqt4-script 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1 ii libqt4-scripttools 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1 ii libqt4-xml 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 ii libsynctex1 2014.20140926.35254-6 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages texworks recommends: ii gsfonts 1:8.11+urwcyr1.0.7~pre44-4.2 ii poppler-data 0.4.7-1 ii texlive-latex-base 2014.20141024-2+deb8u1 ii texworks-help-en 0.5~svn1363-5 Versions of packages texworks suggests: ii texlive-xetex 2014.20141024-2+deb8u1 pn texworks-scripting-lua <none> pn texworks-scripting-python <none> -- no debconf information

You are *supposed* to use the packaged versions in the released Debian status, not some third party. The breakage comes from installing a far to new package, and this would mean you need to recompile ALL packages depending on it. There is no need to file a bug against libpoppler-whatever, just stick to the released stuff, or fix it yourself by recompiling packages that depends.
