You need the poppler gir bindings (should be in the gir1.2-poppler-0.18
package on debian/ubuntu; also needed is python-gi). I updated the
list/website a bit, maybe it is a bit clearer now.

That warning is always displayed when you use the conversion feature
even if the input file is not a PDF.
It means that "from gi.repository import Poppler" failed, i.e. the
introspection bindings for poppler cannot be loaded.

Unfortunately there are only packages for ubuntu "trusty" (which work
fine on debian jessie/sid). There is also an ebuild for gentoo. I don't
know of any other packages though.
