Thanks for the feedback. I've canceled the nmu. > It will temporarily make xpdf work again, and break many other packages > that have been built against the newer fontconfig. Note that poppler also got hit with a similar issue once it was rebuilt against fontconfig 2.11 (bug #730112), so the impact is slightly larger than xpdf. Rebuilding poppler against fontconfig with pthreads disabled (via my proposed patch) solves that problem as well. I saw another "Assertion ... failed!" bug report lately, but don't recall which package that was in, which may also be due to the same underlying problem. > Since the actual bug lies in xpdf, please update xpdf and I’ll add the > relevant Breaks in fontconfig. I think some effort may be appropriate to make sure there are no mistakes/bugs in fontconfig's recent conversion to pthreads. At the same time, we'll continue to look into solutions for poppler/xpdf.
