[Bug 1778088] Re: DjVu Files cannot be opened

[Serge Gavrilov]

This is really ugly solution to disable to open single page DjVu. Why
not to do the same with single page PDF??? This is also something like
images, we do not want to see this :)

My suggestion is to apply reversed patch at

https://bug754467.bugzilla-
attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=355963

to restore img/vnd.djvu support.

Title:
  DjVu Files cannot be opened

Status in djvulibre package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When trying to open a .djvu document, evince shows an error:

    File type DjVu image (image/vnd.djvu) is not supported

  Apparently, upstream has removed the image/vnd.djvu mimetype in an
  effort to treat single-page .djvu files more like images
  (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754467). The file in
  question is however a multi-page, yet the mime-type is not the
  expected "image/vnd.djvu+multipage":

    $ file book.djvu
    book.djvu: DjVu multiple page document
    $ file --mime-type book.djvu
    book.djvu: image/vnd.djvu

  This happens on all bionic machines I have access to.
