Bug Description

With former ubuntu distributions the image viewer eog could be used for opening sun raster files with file ending .ras. With the latest ubuntu release eog doesn't recognize the file format any more. I reinstalled eog, but it still hasn't worked out. However, opening of the .ras file works with other image viewers such as e.g. gimp or image magic.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

The reason is that /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-ras.so is missing for some reason. As a workaround you can copy that file from 14.04 and rebuild the loaders.cache.
