solved. tnx for patch.

Updated.

@amos, thanks for the patch.

This build failure is related to poppler 26.05.0 having been released and removing this type. Unfortunately, there regularly are upstream changes to poppler which tend to break functionality of pdf2djvu.

As mentioned in one of the previous comments, I am currently trying to keep a fork of the archived pdf2djvu repository compatible with upstream changes, although not doing any explicit releases, thus possibly requiring a dedicated pdf2djvu-git AUR package.

It didn’t work for me.

python-nose 1.3.7-19 and python-setuptools 1:80.9.0-4

It works just fine for me, @simona.
Please make sure your system is up-to-date (pacman -Syu), mainly these pakages
python-nose 1.3.7-19
python-setuptools 1:80.9.0-4

This package is broken as of 1/13/26 due to an update in Poppler (libpoppler.so) that Arch rolled out this morning.

$ pdf2djvu
pdf2djvu: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler.so.155: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As a temporary workaround, you can try to install 25.12.0-1 (I am fairly confident 26.01.0-1 is the first broken version).

The below patch will also suffice.

You can find a similar one here, I suggest switching your PKGBUILD to use his instead: https://github.com/FriedrichFroebel/pdf2djvu

# 1. Clone the AUR package
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pdf2djvu.git
cd pdf2djvu
# or if using yay and fixing a failed install:
#   cd ~/.cache/yay/pdf2djvu

# 2. Download the sources
makepkg -o

# 3. Create the patch file
