Thank you for your bug report. Ideally that wishlist would be sent to
Debian as well. Do you know if what binary fedora includes the binary?
It's not useful on a normal system since it's for debugging but I guess
we could ship it with poppler-utils or some dev binary...

Title:
  Please include poppler-glib-demo tool in standard package

Status in poppler package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm having an occasional issue with evince, and since the issue is
  clearly related to the PDF engine underneath which it uses (*this), I
  got a tip to run a PDF directly with 'poppler-glib-demo' in the
  'poppler-demos' package.

  However, this tip was NOT suitable for Ubuntu, as there is nothing like a 'poppler-demos' package, but the whole package structure is different.
  So this is one more for the wishlist.
  poppler-glib-demo is not just a demo for developers, but will also show errors that evince may be blamed for (for no reason at all). evince simply uses lots of things under the hood, and one of them is poppler for PDF rendering.

  ISTR that our Fedora colleagues do have this tool compiled in binary form and included in the package.
  As I think it might be pretty useful for bug-hunting, I'd ask you kindly to no longer do without it when building the Ubuntu poppler package.
  Thanks for considering.
