Oh sorry, I forgot to include the info you requested. I am using Ubuntu Linux 18.04.2 and I don't use "nautilus". I always open djvu files using the command "evince filename,djvu" from within terminal. Well, sometimes I use "djview filename.djvu" (when I want to find out the resolution), but normally evince is more convenient.
I thought this bug is well-known because for about a year (or maybe longer) I saw it mentioned on stackexchange and that is where I learned about the workaround of adding "image/vnd.djvu" to the end of MimeTypes in the file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/evince/4/backends/djvudocument .evince-backend. As for the file example --- just get ANY djvu file from anywhere you like, e.g. from my website: http://www.bibles.org.uk/guardian-plates.html Of course it fails not only with the files produced by myself, but with any other djvu files. The error message from evince is always "File type DjVu image (image/vnd.djvu) is not supported". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1833498 Title: Upgrading evince always breaks djvu support Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Every time I upgrade evince (as part of "sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade") I have to remember to edit the file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux- gnu/evince/4/backends/djvudocument.evince-backend and add "image/vnd.djvu" to the end of MimeType list. If I don't do this then evince is unable to view djvu files. Please add "image/vnd.djvu" to MimeType in the official version of this file so that I (and presumably all other millions of Ubuntu Linux users, who are too lazy to open a bugreport for it) don't have to edit it manually.
