Upgraded today, seems there is a problem on cups-filters and cups related to the new poppler version.

thanks for pointing this out. the problem has been fixed in the latest version of cups-filters.

RE: Problem with cups and poppler after upgrade - bill-auger - over 3 years ago -

to be clear about the version constraints, that is not itself a
bug - we add these specifically to avoid a common bug, whereby
some parabola package would become broken by an upgraded arch
package

the version constraint allows the program to continue functioning
as expected, rather than becoming broken routinely; and the
pacman error serves as a warning, that the package needs to be
rebuilt

anytime that pacman gives an error message, it is almost always
worthy of a bug report - in the case of 'poppler' and 'icu'
dependents, the bug reports are a matter of routine; and there
are permanent tickets for tracking them
