pdflatex failure

[ExarchD]

Hi, I'm having trouble with pdflatex and lualatex. I think it may be due to poppler, but that's wild guess from what packages updated right before my issues.

I'm getting:

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "pdflatex": cannot locate symbol "_ZN4XRef5fetchEiiP6Objecti" referenced by "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/opt/texlive/2017/bin/custom/pdftex" ...

Any clues?

[SDRausty]

@ExarchD thank you for posting. Please post more clues to this issue: 👉 What is your OS system? 👉 What command did you excecute? 👉 How can your issues be reproduced? 👉 If you have a lot of output, consider posting this output as a link here from a markdown file at your https://pages.github.com site. 👉 Any other relevant information that will aid in reproducing your issue, that will hopefully help diagnose and resolve it relatively quickly.

armv8l is the arch. I'm using a chromebook plus. The command was `pdflatex'.

@Grimler91 I get the same error.

Behaves this way on the previous version too🤔

[Grimler91]

Same here. @ExarchD guess about poppler seems likely, I'll test rebuilding and see if it solves it

[Grimler91]

@sdrausty if you downgrade poppler then it probably works.

texlive-bin doesn't even compile right now, maybe due to the new poppler version. Looks like it won't be as easy to fix it as I hoped.

@Grimler91 downgrading poppler solves this as you say; Thank you☺

@sdrausty Sorry about my ignorance. Where can I get poppler previous version to downgrade it?

[SDRausty]

@moises-santillan I use https://sdrausty.github.io/au/ to update, install and backup my installation files, and fortunately there was an older package laying around in my phone. It's for aarch64, so it will not work on your arm machine.

Afaik old debs go to /dev/null unless you back them up yourself. I am trying to create backup repositories https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Package_Management#sdrausty.27s_repositories for Termux, but this project has run into a couple of time and resource consuming hurdles; Also, it is still in its' infancy.

[moises-santillan]

Thanks a lot. Too bad I didn't take care of backing up my previous installations. I'll keep that in mind in the future. Thanks for the tip. Meanwhile, I'm afraid I'll have to wait till poppler is fixed.

Poppler has changed the file object.cc and object.h in such a way that pdftosrc.cc need to be patched. Here's a link to the poppler commit that introduced the changes.

Basically all we need to do is patch pdftosrc.cc to use the new API instead of the old one, shouldn't be to hard but my c++ isn't very good so I was unable to make it work tonight.

I'll continue to look at it tomorrow (unless someone else beats me to it). I've built poppler debs of the previous version for all arches if someone needs it, they are available here.

[moises-santillan]

Thank you very much. I hope you succeed fixing the last poppler version. I have downloaded the former version from the link you provided, and texlive is smoothly running.

[fornwall]

Can you check if pdflatex works with the latest version of poppler, version 0.59.0.1?

The package version is 0.59.0.1 to get a higher version number, but the actual poppler version is 0.57.0 - a temporary workaround until we can update to a later poppler version.

[ExarchD]

Everything works ok for me. I tested xelatex and pdflatex on two different projects

[moises-santillan]

It works ok for me too. Thank you!

[SDRausty]

@fornwall thank you for patching this so quickly.
