The libchk is correct. I will bump on both kdegraphics and koffice. I  
didn't bump these, because update of poppler-qt doesn't has shared library  
version change. But I forogt about poppler-qt -> poppler (the one that has  
shared library version change), so due with current libtool/pkgconfig way  
will get k* to link with poppler too. Thanks for report!

BTW: If anyone find more port that I have missed to bump, please let me  
know.
