Package: evince
Version: 49~alpha-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

With XFCE, open any PDF file, for instance :

wget https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/packaging-tutorial/packaging-tutorial.pdf
evince packaging-tutorial.pdf

The thumbnails of pages in the left pane are empty (see attached
screenshot).

In the terminal, I get:
```
libEGL warning: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information

MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information
MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen
MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information
MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen
```

I have an NVIDA GPU.

In a VM also with XFCE, the thumbnails are correctly rendered, but I
still get in the terminal:
```
libEGL warning: DRI3 error: Could not get DRI3 device
libEGL warning: Ensure your X server supports DRI3 to get accelerated
rendering
```


Philippe.
