poppler update to 0.59.0 breaks texlive. I guess it's an upstream problem (see log extract in attachment). I had to revert to poppler 0.57.0
Confirmed here as well. A different temporary fix is to remove the '--with-system-poppler' configure option from the texlive Pkgfile. Although I successfully built texlive with bundled poppler, I also opted for downgrading poppler back to 0.57.0. I don't have time right now to deal with poppler breaking any other packages.
I've looked into this a little bit. The actual issue seems to be that both texlive and cups-filters are using internal (unstable) poppler API. There has been some discussion on this on the poppler ML [1] and also mention on the cups-filters bugzilla [2] about poppler consumers not using the unstable internals and instead using one of the frontends.
