** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: evince
  
- I just got an electronic reader and discovered that the new standard
- e-book format EPUB can't be read by any program in Ubuntu. It would be a
- good thing if the default document reader, Evince, could support this
- type of file.

+ Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
+ Release:	15.04

+ 2) apt-cache policy evince
+ evince:
+   Installed: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
+   Candidate: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
+   Version table:

+         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

+ 3) What is expected to happen is when one attempts to open an epub file
+ via evince, it does so successfully.
+ 
+ 4) What happens instead with the example attachment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/241736/+attachment/4280564/+files/EPUBBestPractices-1_0.epub is evince notes:
+ File type electronic book document (application/epub+zip) is not supported
