As suggested there, removing the "djvulibre-desktop" package worked
around the problem.

Title:
  DjVu Files cannot be opened

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When trying to open a .djvu document, evince shows an error:

    File type DjVu image (image/vnd.djvu) is not supported

  Apparently, upstream has removed the image/vnd.djvu mimetype in an
  effort to treat single-page .djvu files more like images
  (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754467). The file in
  question is however a multi-page, yet the mime-type is not the
  expected "image/vnd.djvu+multipage":

    $ file book.djvu
    book.djvu: DjVu multiple page document
    $ file --mime-type book.djvu
    book.djvu: image/vnd.djvu

  This happens on all bionic machines I have access to.
