[gentoo-user] Question regarding recent poppler down-/upgrade...

[pk]

Currently poppler-0.18.1 (keyworded since it was required by
libreoffice) is installed on my system and when I sync'ed yesterday
Portage wants to downgrade poppler to latest stable -0.16.7 which is not
a problem per se (I run a mostly stable system). However looking at the
version bump bug report[1] at b.g.o. the links in that report (comment
#1) seems bogus (I may have missed something). Does anyone else see it
too or have a rational explanation for it?

1: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399049

Yes indeed, someone screwed up. Either:

The submitter pasted the wrong list of bugs into the report or
Forgot to mention that the bug number are not from b.g.o, but from some
other bugzilla

The first one for example - 288045 - comes from bugs.kde.org meaning
the links are wrong

0.18.1 has been removed from the tree & 0.18.3 is the latest Testing.
I'm conservative re system + similar pkgs, so still use 0.16.7 .

Yes, that's clear. It was the links in the bug report that made me wonder...
