evince cannot open attachment that is not PDF

[Andrey Gelman]

What is expected to happen with https://launchpadlibrarian.net/193855168/Sample_with_attachment.pdf is when one clicks the top left drop down to Attachments, secondary clicks the .jpg attachment, and clicks Open Attachment it opens up successfully.

What happens instead is Evince notes:
Unable to open attachment
Couldn't open attachment “Clown_fish_in_the_Andaman_Coral_Reef.jpg”: Failed to execute child process "eog" (Permission denied)

WORKAROUND: Secondary click the attachment > Save Attachment As

Andrey Gelman, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please provide an example document that demonstrates this problem?

In Trusty evince opens the attachments almost all right.
In a sample PDF with attachments, I get:
- .pdf attachment is opened Ok
- .avi attachment is opened Ok
- .jpg attempts to do the right thing (open with 'eog'), but fails with
"Failed to execute child process 'eog' (Permission denied)" error message.
For convenience, I attach a public link to the sample PDF with attachments:

Thanks,
Andrey

The attachments are accessed via left side panel - screenshot attached.

Andrey Gelman, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Vivid Vervet.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
