Today I installed EOS KDE from the current ISO on a computer. When I went to open a PDF file to set up Okular, I got the error message: file / cannot be opened. All permissions of said partition are set to user. Attempts to open PDFs on other hard disks or USB sticks with Okular also failed.

poppler-qt6 we got in the recent update was erroneously recompiled against Qt 6.8. I had to pull the poppler PKGBUILD into my system and recompile it against Qt 6.7.

Downgrading poppler-qt6 to 24.09.0-2 works for me so far.

Thanks @Whyhow , that worked. How can I put this on the ignore list, at least until a new version is released?
sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf
Find, Edit, or add line:
IgnorePkg = okular

Wait a minute … shouldn’t poppler-qt6 rather be ignored, so
IgnorePkg = poppler-qt6
Judging by the PKGBUILD, there are 4 related packages compiled from the same base:
pkgbase=poppler
pkgname=(‘poppler’ ‘poppler-glib’ ‘poppler-qt5’ ‘poppler-qt6’)
My semi-educated guess is that you should ignore all of them.

poppler has been rebuilt against the correct 6.7 qt libraries.
