I noticed that the minimum version for poppler was 0.82 for Frescobaldi 3.1 and I didn't have a package that high, so I built poppler from source. It's installed in /usr/local/.
But when I run Frescobaldi and look in the versions tab of the About window, it is still using the old poppler. So I thought I would rebuild python-poppler-qt5. But when I try to build it I get this error: $ python setup.py build Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 42, in <module> import sipdistutils ImportError: No module named sipdistutils $ apt list sip* Listing... Done sip-dev/eoan,now 4.19.18+dfsg-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] Should I continue to try to build python-poppler-qt5? How do I get Frescobaldi to use the newer poppler? I'm running Ubuntu 19.10. --- Knute Snortum (via Gmail)
