Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xpdf-utils

many core packages depends on poppler-utils  while xpdf-utils conflict with 
poppler-utils.
so, when somebody install xpdf-utils, these core packages will be removed.

this is not necessary.

one suggestion is that using alternatives mechanisms to have xpdf-utils
and poppler-utils co-exist in system.

xpdf-utils has some advantages while processing buggy pdfs.
