Package: evince
Version: 3.30.2-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I viewed a DVI file on with evince and clicked on the Print icon in the menu.
Selected printer and pressed OK. Nothing happend.
Message in terminal:
 Failed to execute child process “dvipdfm” (Permission denied)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

No idea what I could do. But manually running dvipdfm on the file and lpr'ing
it resulted in a good print.

I think this worked fine a few months ago... but I don't know what changed.

Kind regards,
Manuel
