[SOLVED] zathura 0.5.2-1 fails to find (installed) plugins

After a recent upgrade Zathura was bumped up to 0.5.2, and now it fails to open any documents at all (pdf or djvu), despite my having the requisite plugins installed:

$ zathura <any document whatsoever>.{pdf,djvu} 

error: Could not find 'zathura_plugin_4_5' in plugin /usr/lib/zathura/libdjvu.so - is not a plugin or needs to be rebuilt.
error: Could not find 'zathura_plugin_4_5' in plugin /usr/lib/zathura/libpdf-poppler.so - is not a plugin or needs to be rebuilt.
error: Found no plugins. Please install at least one plugin.

I have the pdf-poppler and djvu plugins installed:

$ pacman -Ss zathura

community/zathura 0.5.2-1 [installed]
    Minimalistic document viewer
community/zathura-cb 0.1.10-1
    Adds comic book support to zathura
community/zathura-djvu 0.2.9-1 [installed]
    DjVu support for Zathura
community/zathura-pdf-mupdf 0.4.0-1
    PDF support for Zathura (MuPDF backend) (Supports PDF, ePub, and OpenXPS)
community/zathura-pdf-poppler 0.3.0-1 [installed]
    Adds pdf support to zathura by using the poppler engine
community/zathura-ps 0.2.7-1
    Adds ps support to zathura by using the libspectre library

Am I missing anything, or should I just wait for (Arch) folks to rebuild the two plugins as well? The errors seem to suggest they need bump-ups too.

Looks like a partial update. Did you really do a pacman -Suy? If you did, do you hav some related AUR-Packages?

@Stefan I don't think it is a partial update, as I've just done a full upgrade and only some of the zathura packages were updated; the ones missing are namely `zathura-djvu` and `zathura-pdf-poppler`, as can be seen from the out-of-date flag:

https://archlinux.org/packages/communit … hura-djvu/
https://archlinux.org/packages/communit … f-poppler/

I guess this will be solved as soon as those get built as well; in the meantime one can use `zathura-pdf-mupdf` for the PDF backend (nothing to do for DjVu, I'm getting the same error as well).

Edit: zathura-pdf-poppler is already in testing, btw

To answer this:

Decidedly a complete update: yes, I ran

pacman -Syu

And no AUR packages related to this (I only have a couple, none having anything to do with pdf viewing, poppler, etc.).

Also, since per @BachoSeven's message zathura-pdf-poppler seems to be up for an upgrade soon, I think all it'll take on my part is a short wait. I'll report back if some future upgrade restores functionality.

Edit: yes, it's resolved: the new zathura-djvu 0.2.9-2 and zathura-pdf-poppler 0.3.1-2 work fine with zathura 0.5.2-1.
