Note that the ChangeLog is missing here.  It should be something along
the lines of

* gnu/packages/pdf.scm (poppler)[inputs]: Add poppler-data.
* gnu/packages/djvu.scm (pdf2djvu)[inputs]: Remove poppler-data.

In my personal opinion, adding and removing should be done in separate
commits, as it appears that there are other ways in which a package can
depend on poppler-data.  On that note, I haven't built the package, so
I need to ask you: are the contents of poppler-data now included in the
install of poppler?  If not, that might be a reason as to why gimp and
glimpse are failing.

Cheers

It is understood as follows.

poppler (with poppler-data)

  1. During the build process, poppler will check to see if poppler-data
  has been installed by pkg-config.
  2. Newer versions of poppler depend on poppler-data directly, and
  pkg-config can detect poppler-data during the build process.

gimp and glimpse (without poppler-data)

  1. During the build process, gimp and glimpse will check to see if poppler-data
  has been installed by pkg-config.
  2. gimp or glimpse depend on poppler-data indirectly, and pkg-config
  cannot detect poppler-data during the build process.

The above is just a problem in the build process.
Poppler knows where the poppler-data is during the build process, so the
installed poppler can use it in its processing.

I have confirmed in the poppler build log that poppler-data is detected.

I have also confirmed that evince can render Japanese PDFs with the
contents of this patch.


I'll add the changelog and split the commits together at the end.

Thanks

Assertion (2) is wrong here: gimp's configure.ac directly checks for
the existence of poppler-data.  That makes it a direct dependency as
far as I'm concerned, even if they only ever use it through poppler.

Good to know.

Thanks.

@Leo I've heard that there's a Rust related world rebuild coming soon.
Can we tack this feature onto that?

I did not convey the context correctly.

I thought I was describing the behavior of the gimp package with the
poppler-data dependency removed (= gimp,which indirectly depend on
poppler-data).
In that state, gimp will fail to build because pkg-config cannot detect
poppler-data during the build process.
Therefore, I left the poppler-data dependency in gimp.

I'm really sorry for my poor explanation.

Again, w.r.t. your explanation I claim that gimp does not "indirectly"
depend on poppler-data, but directly.  Voilà, le configure.ac [1].

Your assertion that the Gimp depends on poppler-data directly, not
indirectly, is absolutely true and correct.

As you pointed out, the gimp source code definitely depends directly on
poppler-data, so it can't be built without poppler-data.

I was describing the removal of poppler-data from the input in the Gimp
package definition as "gimp indirectly depends on poppler-data", which
complicated the claim. I apologize for that.
