[Gambas-user] gambas2-gb-pdf and libpoppler1 issue

[Che Guebeara]

Interesting thing happened actually...

I couldn't reinstall Gambas2 because of the unresolved pdf issue.
Checking my repos I found the azores repo for feisty and gutsy (I
upgraded this box rather than a clean install). Unchecking the feisty
and reloading the repos I was able to shutdown Synaptic and install
Gambas2 fine with apt-get in a terminal.... AND the pdf component
installed fine along with the meta, which wasnt happening before...

Long story short it might be worth having a look in your repos for
outdated info esp if there is a version dupe like that.

Thanks Daniel!
