Oh, that's distressing, I didn't realise xpdf was in such a parlous state. Looks like there's a team forming around though. If it doesn't make it into squeeze, at least it won't be removed from unstable, you could keep trying it from there. Hopefully the team will get it back into shape. > See this evince bug (regression from xpdf): > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=562104 Yeah, I'm not so fond of evince myself. I particularly despise the way it hides its own identity, calling itself "Document Viewer" (*which* document viewer??!!) But that's more of a systemic problem with Gnome than with evince.
