That's not an Xpdf error message. I'm guessing it's a Poppler bug.

As I mentioned before, if you're getting this kind of message:
Error: Unknown config file command '{0:t}' ({1:t}:{2:d})
then something is very broken in the Debian build.
I'm not sure who's maintaining the Debian Xpdf package anymore, but they
need to look over the patches they're applying to
It looks ok here. Can you try using the binaries from my web site?
(They're staticly linked, so you can just unpack them in /tmp or
wherever, and run xpdf from there.)
If you still see a problem with my binaries, can you give me a more
detailed description of the problem (or a screenshot)?
-
There's something odd going on there. Those strings are all passed to
GString::format(), which is similar to printf -- so the {0:t} etc.
should all be replaced before they're handed off to write().
Can you send me the actual output from xpdf (or whichever xpdf tool you
were running)?
Xpdf 3.03
My guess is that the Debian build setup modified something in the Xpdf
source code (maybe xpdf/Error.cc?) which is breaking the error
reporting. I'm not sure who's in charge of the Xpdf Debian package, but
hopefully this message will reach them.
