Package: evince
Version: 3.22.1-4
Severity: normal
When evince is installed and update-mime is executed, a corrupt entry is
added
to mailcap such that any entries below the corrupt line are ignored by
programs
like alpine. The corrupt line is listed below (the one beginning with the
semicolon).
application/vnd.comicbook+zip; evince %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
application/x-ext-cb7; evince %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
; evince %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
application/oxps; evince %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
application/vnd.ms-xpsdocument; evince %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
instead of all on one line, the second entry is split over two lines and
corrupts the rest of the /etc/mailcap file. Once evince is removed from
the
system, the mailcap file returns to being useable.
