Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evince

Evince does not seem to be able to open a file with a colon in the name:

> [EMAIL PROTECTED] evince 'foo:bar'.pdf
> 
> (evince:12543): libgnomevfs-CRITICAL **: gnome_vfs_uri_is_local: assertion 
> `uri != NULL' failed

This is probably due to some kind of assumption that the colon indicates
a protocol in a URI scheme. It is highly surprising to the user, and if
it can't be fixed (by seeing if a file with that name actually exists),
at least the user should get a more sensible error message than "File
not found".
