[Bug 1833498] Re: Upgrading evince always breaks djvu support

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thanks, that confirms what was mentioned on the external pages you
references,  djvulibre-desktop is buggy/shipping a defintion that
conflicts with the standard one, which is the main issue

The single page case not working is because evince upstream decided
those would be better opened as image than document, also according to
them the single page format is old and deprecated, see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786511

Reassigning to djvulibre, the real issue is the first one

Title:
  djvulibre mimetype definition is incorrect and not needed

Status in djvulibre package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Every time I upgrade evince (as part of "sudo apt update; sudo apt
  upgrade") I have to remember to edit the file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
  gnu/evince/4/backends/djvudocument.evince-backend and add
  "image/vnd.djvu" to the end of MimeType list. If I don't do this then
  evince is unable to view djvu files. Please add "image/vnd.djvu" to
  MimeType in the official version of this file so that I (and
  presumably all other millions of Ubuntu Linux users, who are too lazy
  to open a bugreport for it) don't have to edit it manually. Thank you.
