** Attachment removed: "Crash log of evince-thumbnailer"
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/42410/+attachment/16569/+files/_usr_bin_evince-thumbnailer.1000.crash

** Description changed:

- When opening a DVI file with evince, if no TeX distribution is
- available, the error claims that the DVI file is at fault, rather than
- the installation.
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
+ Release:	14.04
  
- "Unable to open document", and below that, "DVI document has incorrect
- format". The DVI document, however, may be perfectly fine; the issue is
- that evince doesn't have DVI support installed. The error behavior
- should be changed to make this clear.
+ 2) apt-cache policy evince
+ evince:
+   Installed: 3.10.3-0ubuntu10.1
+   Candidate: 3.10.3-0ubuntu10.1

+ 4) What happens instead is evince notes:

+ DVI document has incorrect format"
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: Install the texlive-binaries package.
