Package: evince
Version: 3.31.91-1
Severity: normal

Steps to reproduce:

- Install qpdf
- Have an unencrypted PDF "test.pdf"
- qpdf --encrypt 123456789 123456789 256 -- test.pdf test-256.pdf
- Try to open test-256.pdf with evince. Enter the password "123456789".
  Notice that evince fails and prompts for the password again.
- qpdf --encrypt 123456789 123456789 128 -- test.pdf test-128.pdf
- Try to open test-128.pdf with evince. Enter the password "123456789".
  Notice that evince succeeds.
