Public bug reported:
Evince no longer shows up as the pdf handler in /etc/mailcap. This
means that mutt and other programs relying on /etc/mailcap for handling
attachments cannot open a helper for displaying .pdf files. I cannot
confirm it, but my guess is that this happened as part of 3.0.0-4ubuntu1
since I see in the changelog a comment about dropping evince.mime:
* evince.mime: dropped. We have desktop files to handle MIME
associations, no need to maintain an alternate system by hand.
Closes: #619564, #627027, #551734, #581441.
update-mime does not look at desktop files when building /etc/mailcap,
so this could also be considered to affect mime-support.
