Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
I am running evince 2.20.1-0ubuntu1 on Gutsy.
When trying to open a DVI file without tetex-bin installed, evince
displays the message "Unable to open document: DVI document has
incorrect format". This is an incorrect error message, as there's
nothing wrong with the DVI; the problem is that the user's system
doesn't have DVI support. Given only this message, the user has no way
of knowing that they need to install another package in order to view
DVI files; the logical conclusion for them to draw is that the DVI file
they have is corrupted.
** Affects: evince (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
