PDF Links not working in evince

Upstream URL:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/issues/186

Binary package hint: evince

1)
Natty:
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch)
Release: 11.04

Maverick:
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10

2)
Natty:
apt-cache policy evince
evince:
  Installed: 2.32.0-0ubuntu12
  Candidate: 2.32.0-0ubuntu12
  Version table:

3) What is expected to happen is when one performs at the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/676401/+attachment/1736025/+files/SST_20101101_Nov_2010.pdf && evince SST_20101101_Nov_2010.pdf

then clicks the link on page 12 that states, "continue on page 31" the PDF immediately goes to page 31 in evince.

4) What happens instead is that it does not.

WORKAROUND: Use acroread.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
