/usr/lib/mime/packages/evince is missing

[Jérémie Bouttier]

  Hi,
The current evince package does not add a file in /usr/lib/mime/packages.
As a consequence mailcap support is broken, for instance the command "see file.pdf" yields :
  Error: no "view" mailcap rules found for type "application/pdf"
Cheers,
  Jérémie

The issue is being discussed there in Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=647272

[Tobias Oetiker (tobi-oetiker)]

and dropping this is in violation of the debian mime policy ... bad idea ...
