Title:
  exit code zero on failure

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  Evince reports success (exit code 0) even when it cannot display a
  broken PDF file.

  $ evince /usr/lib/R/site-library/Zelig/doc/static/intro.pdf
  Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
  Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
  Error: Couldn't read xref table
  Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
  Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
  Error: Couldn't read xref table
  desk:~$ echo $?
  0
  $
  Evince gives a big red banner saying "- Unable to open document  PDF document is damaged" but still reports success,
  so that code like
  for n in *.pdf
  do
    evince $n || echo $n
  done

  does not work as expected.

  
  (Incidentally, that file is part of the r-cran-zelig package -- it appears to be truncated.)
