Unfortunately I had the same problem.

Thank you for responding. Removing the file ~/.local/share/mime/mime.cache ended the problem. The last modify date was 2006 and the failure started this month so it wasn't the contents changing. I am guessing that a new version of something does not like this old file. At any rate, evince now handles pdf files as it used to. allan
