eog is lacking support for sun raster files due to missing /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-ras.so (see Bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/1632359 #1632359 reported by Melanie on 2016-10-11) and my question https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdk-pixbuf/+question/404136

This seems also to be true for /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-ras.so

This bug seems also to be present in other Ubuntu releases > 14.04

Workaround is to copy libpixbufloader-ras.so from 14.04 and rebuild cache.
