Package: evince, mailcap
Version: evince/41.2-1, mailcap/3.70
Hi,
since upgrading from bullseye to bookworm, opening a pdf from mutt
doesn't work. The /etc/mailcap entry says:
> application/pdf; evince --new-window %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
and indeed "evince --new-window foo.pdf" doesn't actually open foo.pdf.
Maybe this is intended though, and the problem is how update-mime parses
evince's desktop file? Looks like it's using the Exec line from
[Desktop Action new-window] (which didn't exist in bullseye) instead of
from the main [Desktop Entry] section.
Cheers,
Julien
