Description of problem: pdftoppm missing Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xpdf-3.02-16 poppler-utils-0.5.4-4.4.el5_5.14 How reproducible: Alway Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum whatprovides /usr/bin/pdftoppm 2. Should be provided by poppler-utils or xpdf Actual results: no pdftoppm available for rhel5 or epel5 Expected results: pdftoppm available Additional info: It is non-trivial to enable pdftoppm in the version of poppler that comes with rhel5, at least, not by my quick glance. It is built with --disable-splash-output, as it is incompatible with fontconfig , resulting in a build lacking pdftoppm. There are two solutions to this: Either patch up poppler to build pdftoppm even with --disable-splash-output, or just reenable it in xpdf. The latter is trivial, see the attached specfile patch. And by the way, the specfile could easily be merged with the one in rawhide, given a few macros. Ingvar

See #219033 for a retrospectical view, and #508957 for the more or this bug, seen from the poppler side.
