Subject: [PATCH] gnu: inkscape: Use ungrafted poppler input.
Date: Sat,  8 Jul 2017 21:08:34 +1000

Previously, inkscape failed to start, attempting to load an incorrect
poppler shared library version.

* gnu/packages/inkscape.scm (inkscape)[inputs]: Replace poppler with
poppler-0.56.0.
* gnu/packages/pdf.scm (poppler-0.56.0): Export it.
