I remember when xpdf was removed, epdfview was recommended as a
lightweight alternative. How about this time?

Best,

I personally migrated to evince a while ago. It is a bit GNOME, TBH but
doesn't really pull in much. And is definitely less buggy.

Have you gave a try to app-text/mupdf?
It is very lightweight and does not depends on poppler.

app-text/qpdfview is not bad (though I prefer okular).

app-text/zathura-meta

(zathura supports both poppler and mupdf backends but only poppler 
backend is in Portage for now because our mupdf package sucks wrt bugs 
407805 and 407807)

  Try apvlv.  Note, you *MUST* first build poppler with the
"xpdf-headers" USE flag.  Only then will apvlv build properly.  I've
reported this bug, and I assume that the apvlv ebuild will be changed to
look for the app-text/poppler[xpdf-headers] before proceeding further.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=430306

  It's already marked RESOLVED/FIXED, which may be why it doesn't turn
up in your search.

It's pretty clear that the latter is an upstream problem. Will you
fix it?

We should patch it to build shared libs, with or without cooperation 
from upstream.

Absolutely, I didn't file the bug for nothing. It's there to remind me 
until I do.

envision once hits portage, zathura with the proper plugin (remind me to
add the mupdf one)

I wonder why there isn't a gtk mupdf backed one yet.
