Bug#561960: evince: Cannot open files through SFTP

[Juan Miguel Corral]

Package: evince
Version: 2.22.2-4~lenny1
Severity: normal


When you are browsing a remote SFTP folder with Nautilus, and then try 
to open a PDF file with evince, it won't open it giving the error 
"Operation not supported".
If you install gvfs-backends and try again, then it won't be able to 
open the file anyway, but the error changes to "Remote location is not 
mounted" (maybe these are not the exact words, since my system runs with 
spanish locale).

I think the bug is related to evince 2.22 trying to use gvfs and 
Nautilus 2.20 using gnomevfs.
