pdfinfo-Linux-x86_64 is not recognised while pdftotext-Linux-x86_64 is on uptodate Debian/Stretch
I did a manual installation of pdfinfo and pdftotext links and .version files in the zotero data directory. The binaries are /usr/bin/pdf{info,totext} from poppler-utils.
But Zotero only recognises pdftotext but not pdfinfo ("pdfinfo-Linux-x86_64 is NOT installed").
How to fix this?

Thankx for any help, gregor
If it's still not working, I would start by doing a regular install via the prefs, make sure it shows both tools as installed, and then try replacing the binaries with symlinks if desired.
I removed zotero, deleted it's data directory, did a reinstall, imported the collections, provided links, .version files and pdfinfo.sh:

Still no luck it does not discover the pdf* utils. Another Debug ID is D66139688 which is quit privacy sensitive. You now know which kind of dishes I prefer.
Again, do a normal install of the tools through through prefs, confirm that it's working, and then just replace the two binaries with symlinks.
- indexes only one file, not all of them.
- zotero.sqlite is suddenly much bigger (s. below)
- zotero does not show my Library any more, everything is simply empty
Should this be a different issue report?
Thanks so far, Gregor
