Single-letter arguments must immediately follow "port" so the above would have been \
"sudo port -dcu uninstall --follow-dependents poppler" and "sudo port -f uninstall \
texlive-bin". Also you don't need to force uninstall, then reinstall something; if \
you just want to rebuild it, you can "sudo port -n upgrade --force texlive-bin" all \
in one step.

The answer is that you need to rebuild the ports that use poppler. The changeset you \
indicated in your ticket should have caused MacPorts to realize that it needed to \
rebuild these ports (i.e. should have been displayed in "port outdated" and upgraded \
by "sudo port upgrade outdated"). We do not understand why that did not work in your \
case. You can manually rebuild the port(s) affected using e.g. "sudo port -n upgrade \
--force texlive-bin"

As to what a changeset is or how to see what it contains, you can click the text \
"r70558" in the ticket you filed to be taken to \
http://trac.macports.org/changeset/70558 which shows you what's in the changeset. If \
we're talking about changesets that affect portfiles (i.e. changes made in the \
trunk/dports directory) then "sudo port sync" or "sudo port selfupdate" retrieves \
these to your machine (with up to a half hour delay).
