Package: xpdf
Version: 3.04-3
Severity: important
When starting xpdf (even without any argument), I get many errors:
Config Error: Unknown config file command 'unicodeMap'
(/usr/share/xpdf/xpdfrc-arabic:2)
Config Error: Some work needs to be done to suppport this option in the Poppler
version of xpdf
Config Error: Unknown config file command 'cidToUnicode'
(/usr/share/xpdf/xpdfrc-chinese-simplified:2)
Config Error: Some work needs to be done to suppport this option in the Poppler
version of xpdf
Config Error: Unknown config file command 'unicodeMap'
(/usr/share/xpdf/xpdfrc-chinese-simplified:3)
Config Error: Some work needs to be done to suppport this option in the Poppler
version of xpdf
Config Error: Unknown config file command 'unicodeMap'
(/usr/share/xpdf/xpdfrc-chinese-simplified:4)
Config Error: Some work needs to be done to suppport this option in the Poppler
version of xpdf
Config Error: Unknown config file command 'unicodeMap'
(/usr/share/xpdf/xpdfrc-chinese-simplified:5)
Config Error: Some work needs to be done to suppport this option in the Poppler
version of xpdf
[...]
I don't know the consequences, but this is at least very annoying
to get these errors in the terminal.

Hi Vincent,
thank you for your quick reply! I'm trying to sort through the xpdf bugs
and you have been active on quite a few of them, so if you happen on any
that you find to no longer be relevant feel free to just close them...
:-)

Good, I'm closing this bug then.

I think it's meant to be informational for people upgrading from older
versions, or pasting things from the internet - and to ease confusion
around the "with or without poppler" issue.
