Okular crashes when opening pdf files: Poppler symbol lookup error
Last modified: 2018-02-26 08:25:58 UTC
When opening any pdf file with okular, the application crashes immediately with this error: okular: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/okular/generators/okularGenerator_poppler.so: undefined symbol: _ZNK7Poppler4Page13renderToImageEddiiiiNS0_8RotationEPFvRK6QImageRK8QVariantEPFbS7_ES7_ Launching okular without specifying a file works - I guess this is not surprising, but I wanted to mention it anyway. I'm reporting this to openSUSE because this might be a packaging issue. Otherwise I can report this upstream as well. System: most recent Tumbleweed. Relevant repos: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/
Hm. poppler has last been updated a month ago. OTOH, a new okular version has been submitted two weeks ago, so it definitely has been built against the latest poppler... Are you sure your system is fully up-to-date? What exact versions of okular and poppler do you have installed? zypper se -s okular zypper se -s poppler Try to run "zypper dup" and see if there are any updates. And no, please do not report this upstream. Such a crash can only happen if the application is built against a different library version than is installed in the system. Nothing that an upstream (who only release source code anyway) can fix.
Thank you for your quick response. Indeed, performing an upgrade via "zypper dup" installed a poppler version that resolves the issue I found. Hence I've marked this issue as resolved. Final words: I'm a bit surprised that it requires a dist-upgrade to upgrade tools like okular/poppler, especially when (apparently) the okular version installed via the regular non-dist-upgrade mechanism depends on this latest poppler version. Anyway, keep up the good work around OpenSUSE!

"zypper dup" is the only supported way to upgrade a Tumbleweed system, as every snapshot basically is a new distribution. No idea why poppler was not updated before, probably some conflict with something else that is/was installed. "zypper dup" tries harder to resolve conflicts automatically, while "up" may just skip some updates in that case.
