I just ran another test:  I used the old evince (3.22.1) to open the
djvu file produced by the new djvused command.  The bookmarks appeared
properly.  This suggests that all three viewers are broken in the same
way.  Perhaps they all rely on a library that broke.

Title:
  djvused lost the ability to add bookmarks

Status in djvulibre package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Following these steps to add bookmarks using the set-outline
  instruction:

  https://ebooks.stackexchange.com/questions/7866/how-insert-the-
  outline-the-bookmarks-into-djvu

  there is no error.  And if I follow that with:

  $ djvused foo.djvu -e 'print-outline'

  it faithfully reproduces the outline I gave it.

  This technique was also tested and had the same effect:

  When the resulting djvu file is opened in the following viewers:

  * evince v.3.38.2
  * okular (with okular-extra-backends)
  * qpdfview (with qpdfview-djvu-plugin)

  in all 3 cases the bookmarks pane shows nothing.  So either djvused is
  broken or all three viewers are broken.  I believe okular and evince
  have different backends, so djvused is the likely culprit.

  djvulibre-bin version is 3.5.28.  I did not see have this problem with
  djvulibre-bin 3.5.27.1 & evince 3.22.1.

  Evince bug mirrored here since it's unclear which one has the bug:
