I updated the package. Apart from the fixes (please test it), most notably I removed the poppler-based fbpdf2, and renamed "fbpdf" as "fbpdf-mupdf" instead of "neatfbpdf", still to avoid conflict with "fbida" package. Those are just my own decisions, so they can be changed again.

If you want poppler-based variant, see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fbpdf-poppler-git.

Updated the man page to reflect a bookmarking command found in the official README (which is not included in the install as a) the README did not exist when I wrote the man page and b) it seems redundant to include both, now that I've written the man page). Also fixed the description for the zoom command.

Also, the man page has been updated to reflect the new command (from the reload branch of fbpdf, which this package uses by default) to reload a PDF file, which is useful, for instance, if you're typing a LaTeX document in vim and have fbpdf in a different window and want to refresh it without reopening the file. Just use the 'R' key.

Okay, keeping to my promise to remove X-dependencies without question, I'm pulling the plug on fbdjvu because it relies on djvulibre, which relies on hicolor-icon-theme, which is useless on an X-less system. But, if anyone wants to have it back, let me know so that I can consider it (I'll save the old PKGBUILD just in case). Thanks. Accidentally deleted my reply to Army's post, so I'm adding it here: Thanks a lot for your approval! I hadn't thought of it quite that way, but now I'll avoid X-dependencies without question in my PKGBUILDs for framebuffer programs.

I missed your last post, but I'll comment anyway: Good choice! Graphical dependencies with a framebuffer application are a no-go!

As no one requested the contrary, I've decided to do what I suggested below and removed fbpdf2 from the package.

I am considering removing fbpdf2 from this PKGBUILD, as I tried to install fbpdf-git on an X-less setup and realized that fbpdf2 (which uses poppler) has a poppler-glib dependency, which brings in many graphical dependencies (as it depends on gtk2). This is highly undesirable, and can only be easily remedied at build time if the user knows what to uncomment/remove. I would like some user input though before I remove it, in case anyone prefers poppler to MuPDF. Thanks!

I installed the fbpdf-git package with pacaur, and all three packages (fbpdf, fbpdf2, fbdjvu) installed, so it appears that different AUR helpers vary in their support for split packages.
