I can't seem to view ANY Postscript files with the current Evince. The program displays the "Loading" text on a white screen, CPU usage falls nearly to zero, and nothing more happens.

Version is 2.26.1, running on Ubuntu Jaunty amd64, current as of 23jun09.

I confirm the bug is in package libspectre1.
Downgrade it from 0.2.2.ds-1 (jaunty) to 0.2.0.ds-1build3 (intrepid) makes evince work.
