The pinned comment is still relevant, because it always happens when poppler gets updated. If you want to know more, search for "shared library" and "dynamic linking".
Basically, when building openboard, the system searches for the current version of poppler and tells openboard "Use this version". Every time that openboard starts, it asks for that version. If poppler gets updated, that version can't be found anymore and the error occurs. So we have to tell openboard that there is a new version and the simplest way is rebuilding it.
So this is not an issue with this PKGBUILD, because rebuilding still works.

Since version

the Qt5 backend is no longer actively maintained and supported.Control environment variable can be used to force build against
qt5

(default:off)Usage cases:
makepkg ENABLE_QT5=1
yay -S openboard --mflags="ENABLE_QT5=1"
Yay

@unphysicalix: That's correct, you have to rebuild after dependency packages are updated. Let me make this post sticky to avoid people running into this again and again.
If OpenBoard stops working and when starting it from the command line you get an error message of the type:
Then you most likely just need to rebuild OpenBoard (either with
makepkg
or with your favourite AUR helper) because a dependency package has been updated.(That's the one disadvantage of AUR packages. I don't know what the threshold is for the package to be migrated into the community repository instead.)
