xpdf not anymore in FreeBSD 11.4?

After upgrading was broken. I deleted the package, made autoremove, tried to reinstall, and it was not anymore there.

Perhaps the best to do is, not to upgrade a working system. Without xpdf I am in troubles.
 
All versions of FreeBSD use the same ports tree. If it's available on one version it's available on another too. It could have build failures though, that would remove the package from the repostitories.

Looking through the build logs I can see it was skipped because a dependency (qt5-network) failed. That port will always fail on 11.x due to OpenSSL. Upgrade to 12.2-RELEASE if you really need it.

I had xpdf running on 11.4, before the infamous upgrade.

And I wonder that xpdf needs openssl, well, qt5.

And also qt5-gui/qt4-gui is not anymore there. Because of openssl?
 
It's been broken for quite some time (several months) and it's not going to get fixed. The only way to make it work is to build net/qt5-network from ports and configure an alternate OpenSSL. Or upgrade to 12.1/12.2.
