Bug#430379: evince still does not support gzipped or bzipped DVI files

[Géraud Meyer]

Package: evince
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: normal

Bug #412613 requesting that evince supports gzipped DVI files was closed
and supposedly fixed in 0.8.0-1.

However the command `evince file.dvi.gz' launches a popup window with
the message "Unhandled MIME type: application/x-gzdvi", whereas `kdvi
file.dvi.gz' displays the file for instance.

The same is true of bzipped DVI files.

Also evince is not associated with gzipped DVI files in nautilus for
example.

Regards
