Bug#648864: evince now says "File type PNG image (image/png) is not supported"

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: evince
Version: 3.2.1-1
Severity: normal

evince used to display jpegs and pngs (quite nicely, too).  Some time
recently (in the last few months, since either 3.0 or 3.2 i think) it
stopped being able to.  Now, when i launch "evince some-image.png", it
gives me an error bar with

  Unable to open document
  File type PNG image (image/png) is not supported
 
and for a jpeg:

  Unable to open document
  File type JPEG image (image/jpeg) is not supported

Can this functionality be restored?  It makes it a more generally
functional "document viewer".

thanks for maintaining evince in debian!
