Up to recently, this bug was easily fixed by removing the "djvulibre- desktop" package, but some recent upgrade seems to have brought it back with a vengeance (some time before but not long before 2019-05-15).
Since Ubuntu is visibly in no hurry to fix this, let me offer a workaround: create ~/.local/share/mime/packages/override.xml with the following content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info";> <!-- Created on 2019-05-15 to fix a reappearance of this bug: --> <!-- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/djvulibre/+bug/1778088 --> <!-- (DjVu seen as image/vnd.djvu instead of image/vnd.djvu+multipage) --> <!-- https://twitter.com/gro_tsen/status/1128645721614356480 --> <!-- Run "update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime" after creating this. --> <!-- Use "xdg-mime query filetype some-file.djvu" to test. --> <!-- - David A. Madore --> <mime-type type="image/vnd.djvu+multipage"> <comment>DjVu image</comment> <alias type="image/x-djvu"/> <magic priority="99"> <match value="AT&TFORM" type="string" offset="0"> <match value="DJVU" type="string" offset="12"/> </match> <match value="FORM" type="string" offset="0"> <match value="DJVU" type="string" offset="8"/> </match> </magic> <glob pattern="*.djvu"/> <glob pattern="*.djv"/> </mime-type> </mime-info> — and then run “update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime” to regenerate the local MIME cache.
