Bug Description

This issue is reproducible on Ubuntu and Ubuntu-Gnome 13.10

Steps to reproduce:
1. Try to open any djvu file

Actual result:
It opens by default in PrintPreviewer instead of Evince

Expected result:
1. Evince should open djvu files by default

NB: This can be easily changed, but it would be more userfriendly to make this default

Sorry, I didn`t know how to find out exactly package for this issue. I thought that every application has it`s own .desktop file where mimetype placed, so chose Evince.

No worry! The do, the issue is that if several applications claim a mimetype you need to be able to pick a preferred one ... desktop-file-utils is where we ship our list of "what application is recommended for what type"

desktop-file-utils (0.21-1ubuntu2) saucy; urgency=low

  * debian/defaults.list: list evince as default, for the types it should
    be handling, otherwise the wrong handler is being used (lp: #1238584)
