Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: evince at packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:evince

Please unblock package evince, or consider this as a trixie-pu request 
if it's too late for 13.0.

[ Reason ]
Fix print preview not working if a related package is installed.

[ Impact ]
If not fixed, print preview won't work for users who have installed 
the papers package. None of our desktop environments do this by default 
as far as I can see, but papers is a non-default choice for GNOME and 
might fully replace evince in forky.

[ Tests ]
On a GNOME system with the proposed evince but not papers, print preview 
of a PDF still works correctly, opening in evince-previewer.

On a GNOME system with the proposed evince and also papers, print 
preview of a PDF previously didn't work; now it opens in 
papers-previewer as intended.

[ Risks ]
Key package via our default GNOME desktop and several other desktops.

The change is narrowly targeted and low risk: a one-line change allowing 
evince's AppArmor profile to run papers-previewer under 
papers-previewer's own AppArmor profile (which already exists in the 
papers package).

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]
I'm hoping this will be my last unblock request before 13.0, thanks for 
processing all the GNOME bugfix uploads to make the desktop as polished 
as we can get it!
