No problems, it works.

Fixed a day ago.

poppler-0.64.0 is in arch -testing (although trying to search that
says the repo doesn't exist ;) and for their libreoffice (a bit newer
than ours) they now, in -testing, have a patch from debian.
Fortunately the page for poppler in -testing lists dependant
packages.

I found the referenced debian commit (part of a larger series of
changes, I think), but I couldn't work out what version it was
against (their latest 6.0.2 and 6.0.4-rc1 patches do not (yet)
contain it).  Anyway, it applies with offsets and fuzz (we don't
usually care about that, but knowing what can go wrong on the kernel
tree and not knowing what it was against, I was cautious) - builds
and lets me open a PDF (as an odg drawing) and export a lowriter
file as a PDF.

Fixed in r20115.

For okular, the maintainer is also the poppler maintainer - so
despite the objections of others that it uses a less-good backend,
it should build.  Indeed, git since 0.64.0 has a fix for the qt5
version failing to build on osx, so linux should be ok.

I think all the BLFS failures to build with poppler-0.64.0 are now
addressed.
