Subject: [bug#53536] [PATCH v2] gnu: Include poppler-data with poppler.

It is understood as follows.

poppler (with poppler-data)

  1. During the build process, poppler will check to see if poppler-data
  has been installed by pkg-config.
  2. Newer versions of poppler depend on poppler-data directly, and
  pkg-config can detect poppler-data during the build process.

gimp and glimpse (without poppler-data)

  1. During the build process, gimp and glimpse will check to see if poppler-data
  has been installed by pkg-config.
  2. gimp or glimpse depend on poppler-data indirectly, and pkg-config
  cannot detect poppler-data during the build process.

The above is just a problem in the build process.
Poppler knows where the poppler-data is during the build process, so the
installed poppler can use it in its processing.

I have confirmed in the poppler build log that poppler-data is detected.

I have also confirmed that evince can render Japanese PDFs with the
contents of this patch.


I'll add the changelog and split the commits together at the end.

Thanks
