Package: calibre Version: 3.7.0+dfsg-2 Hi Norbert,
I'm not sure if this is a calibre or mime-support bug. The calibre package ships a /usr/share/applications/calibre-ebook-viewer.desktop file that declares itself as a mime handler for application/pdf. Due to bug #877774 being present in this version of the package (which is the version that wound up being shipped in Ubuntu 17.10), it doesn't work at all as a mailcap handler; but even with that bug fixed, it is taking precedence over evince, which is the default pdf handler that I have installed and the one that I expect to see used. I don't know if this is just a matter of 'calibre-ebook-viewer' sorting alphabetically before 'evince', or what; but having calibre installed in order to read ebooks should not make it the default mailcap handler for pdfs. I suppose this issue would possibly also be resolved if bug #802767 were fixed. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
