Bug Description

Xubuntu/Ubuntu 12.04.1

The "evince" viewer does not read .xps files. When open, it shows the following error "File type Zip archive (application/zip) is not supported"
The http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libgxps2 where installed but it´s does not he lp.

The ldd /usr/bin/evince command shows nothing about XPS libraries.

The upstream has XPS, also this bug was noted here: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evince-list/2012-July/msg00012.html

Best Regards,

Denis

Evince in Ubuntu 12.10 Beta "Quantal Quetzal" supports XPS. Unfortunately, this isn't really fixable in 12.04 since 12.04 is in Feature Freeze.
