Bug#480409: evince: can't view djvu documents

[Rogério Brito]

Package: evince
Version: 2.20.2-1+b1
Severity: important


Dear Marc,

Unfortunately, as of late, it seems that I can't see djvu documents on
my computer. Everything that I see are completely blank pages on various
documents (regardless of what I have tried).

I would appreciate very much if you could help with this, as this is a
major problem for people that rely on this format for the distribution
of out-of-print works, like this book in Theoretical Computer Science:
<http://www.ime.usp.br/~is/atc/atc.djvu>.

I have not yet tried to use other programs for viewing the files (on my
sid system), but one thing that I find interesting is that the GNOME
thumbnailer *does* generate correct thumbnails for .dvi, .pdf, .ps, and
.dvju files.

I noticed this problem some time ago, but only now I had the time to
post a proper report.

If you want me to try something, please let me know.


Regards, Rogério Brito.
