Package: evince
Version: 3.30.2-3+deb10u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   I wanted to read the PDF version of the IETF RFC 8798 document using
   evince, the GNOME Document Viewer.  This public standard document is
   accessible at https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8798.pdf .

   When trying to open the PDF file with evince using

      evince rfc8708.pdf

   the GNOME Document Viewer "evince" crashes with a segmentation fault.
   The expected outcome was to open a new evince window showing the RFC
   document.

      $ evince rfc8798.pdf
      Gtk-Message: 21:04:42.878: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
      Gtk-Message: 21:04:44.380: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
      ! SyncTeX Error : No file?
      Segmentation fault

   This problem has been reported on an IETF mailing list by other
   people as well, see:
