Bug#934289: evince-common: Make evince compatible with mailcap.order

[Judicael Courant]

Package: evince-common
Version: 3.30.2-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I would like 'see foo.pdf' to open evince (for all users).

I guess mailcap.order(5) is the right place to give evince priority over other
pdf readers. Unfortunately that does not work: I added the line

evince:application/pdf

to /etc/mailcap.order and ran update-mime (as root) and got the following
warning:

Warning: package evince listed in /etc/mailcap.order does not have mailcap entries.

(and see foo.pdf still opens another application).

Could you please add a file /usr/lib/mime/packages/evince to package
evince-common with the (current) output of 'grep evince /etc/mailcap' and run
update-mime in evince.postinst (or evince-common.postinst)?

Adding such a file manually solved the issue for me and was the solution
suggested to a similar question on askubuntu:

Yours,

J. Courant.
