Re: Xpdf with or without Qt

In retrospect, I should probably have added a note in the commit
message that it would be a somewhat major change. With an
emphasis on the X -> QT migration.

I don't really know the answer to this, but if you're copying the old code,
just name your "pinned" package "xpdf-4.02" so that it's not recognized
as "xpdf", and that should protect you from xpdf upgrades.
