Have you recently emerged evince/poppler/poppler-bindings ?
To test if perhaps the version on the gentoo servers is currently bad
I just now remerged them and did the suggested revdep-rebuild, which as
expected rebuilt nothing. Everything worked fine; in particular,
evince file.pdf
worked.
Perhaps you should remerge them in case one of yours is corrupted.
Here is the beginning of my emerge showing the use flags
allan gottlieb # emerge evince poppler poppler-bindings
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] app-text/evince-2.22.2-r1 USE="dbus doc gnome gnome-keyring tiff -debug -djvu -dvi -t1lib" 1,592 kB
[ebuild R ] app-text/poppler-bindings-0.8.7 USE="cairo gtk -qt3 -qt4 -test" 1,436 kB
[ebuild R ] app-text/poppler-0.8.7 USE="jpeg zlib -cjk" 0 kB
Total: 3 packages (3 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 3,027 kB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
Good luck!
allan
