Quite a pickle:
* pdf2djvu in karmic is still at 0.4.13:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/pdf2djvu
* while upstream (google code) is 0.5.11:
http://code.google.com/p/pdf2djvu/
* but upstream depends on libpoppler4, while the one in ubuntu depends on libpoppler5
* libpoppler4 existed only in jaunty:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libpoppler4

To sum up, I was unable to install the latest upstream version in order to check if the issue remains...

Opened upstream issue on the broken dependency:
http://code.google.com/p/pdf2djvu/issues/detail?id=41

Anyways, why do we keep changing the library name?
- libpoppler5 (0.11.2) in Karmic
- libpoppler4 (0.10.5) in Jaunty
- libpoppler3 (0.8.7) in Intrepid
- libpoppler2 (0.6.4) in Hardy
- libpoppler1 (0.5.1) in Dapper

Why not just call it libpoppler?

The only way I can reproduce this bug is to:
- compile pdf2djvu with poppler 0.11.0;
- upgrade to poppler 0.11.1.
That's because poppler 0.11.1 broke both API and ABI without bumping SONAME. pdf2djvu < 0.5.11 even FTBFS with the unstable version of poppler.

To work around this bug you should upgrade to pdf2djvu 0.5.11 (or backport the proper fix from 0.5.11) and ensure both build-time and runtime dependency on poppler >= 0.11.1.

I don't have an amd64 box to test this, but I uploaded a package on my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~dktrkranz/+archive/ppa), could you please test it? Thanks in advance!
