Is it just me, or has zotero started displaying weirdly since the last update? Looks like the linked image to me on two computers, one Arch and one Manjaro. <https://i.imgur.com/WzJraW1.png>

Thanks for the updates @juanmah and thanks for maintaining this package!

As @jon.reeve suggested, the app update is now disabled by default.

Changed back xpdf optional dependency and java-enviroment dependency. @alexanderp and @wsha, you were right.

@jon.reeve, users can set this in menu Edit > Preferences > tab Advanced > subtab General > button Settings Editor (or something like that; I'm backtranslating).

Could we configure this to stop asking the user to update the package? Zotero complains (often) that it's: "Unable to Update; a recommended update is available, but you don't have permission to install it. To update automatically, modify the zotero program directory to be writeable by your user account." But this is ridiculous, since the user shouldn't have to make /usr/lib writeable by their user account. It looks like you can just change `pref("app.update.enabled", true);` to `false` in /usr/lib/zotero/defaults/preferences/prefs.js.

zotero.jar is not a Java-related file. .jar is the extension used for XUL addons that have been zipped into a single file (I think it stands for "javascript archive"). See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/JAR_Packaging Java shouldn't be a dependency.

Actually, xpdf is not needed since Zotero needs its own set of pdfinfo and pdftotext which it downloads into its data folder.

About java-environment, namcap marked it as not included. zotero E: Dependency java-environment detected and not included (found class files usr/lib/zotero/zotero.jar) About xpdf: PDF Full-Text Indexing. Zotero uses the pdfinfo and pdftotext utilities from the open-source Xpdf project for PDF indexing. https://www.zotero.org/support/pdf_fulltext_indexing

Two questions regarding the dependencies: 1: Why do we need suddenly the java-environment dependency? (I couldn't find why!?) 2. Why xpdf as an optional dependency for PDF indexing? Don't we just need pdfinfo and pdftotext from the poppler package?
