Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evince

Using  evince_2.21.90-0ubuntu1_i386.deb.

Attempting to open .pdf or .ps files from the command line with evince
results in:

Unable to open document
Unhandled MIME type: “application/x-extension-pdf”

or, sometimes,

Unhandled MIME type: “application/octet-stream”

This is occurring on files which were openable by evince yesterday.
However, this morning I did a system update and now find there is a
problem.  tried pdftotext on the files, it works as usual.

cat /etc/lsb-release:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"
