Bug#721783: someone vandalised the evince user interface

[Ernest Adrogué]

Package: evince
Version: 3.8.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #721783

Here is a workaround for this bug.

1) remove evince and related libs

# apt-get purge libevdocument3-4 libevview3-3 evince{,-common,-gtk}

2) download evince packages from Debian Wheezy

# wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/evince/libevview3-3_3.4.0-3.1_amd64.deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/evince/evince-gtk_3.4.0-3.1_amd64.deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/evince/evince-common_3.4.0-3.1_all.deb  http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/evince/libevdocument3-4_3.4.0-3.1_amd64.deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/liba/libarchive/libarchive12_3.0.4-3+nmu1_amd64.deb

3) install the packages

# dpkg -i libevview3-3_3.4.0-3.1_amd64.deb libevdocument3-4_3.4.0-3.1_amd64.deb libarchive12_3.0.4-3+nmu1_amd64.deb evince-common_3.4.0-3.1_all.deb evince-gtk_3.4.0-3.1_amd64.deb

4) put evince-gtk on hold, so that it won't be "upgraded"

# dpkg --set-selections <<EOF
> evince-gtk hold
> EOF

5) done.

It's a shame that we have to resort to this but the Gnome designers leave us
with no other option.
