poppler packaging is a pita, but it's never broke anything for me (but does cause lots and lots and lots of stuff to be rebuilt...) Yesterday's update worked just fine: $ genlop -t poppler * app-text/poppler Wed Sep 18 08:46:05 2013 >>> app-text/poppler-0.24.1 merge time: 33 seconds. Sun Sep 29 12:31:08 2013 >>> app-text/poppler-0.24.2 merge time: 35 seconds. What errors are you getting? Any customizations to poppler on your system?
