Package: evince
Version: 3.30.0-1
Severity: important

evince 3.30 renamed the desktop file from evince.desktop to
org.gnome.Evince.desktop. update-mime, the tool to generate
/etc/mailcap, processes desktop files in order by name. Because of this
rename, GIMP now has a higher priority for PDF and PostScript files than
Evince does, causing mutt and similar to open PDF and PostScript files
with GIMP by default.
