["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

** Description changed:

- Both evince and evince-thumbnailer get stuck with high CPU load when
- trying to open a DVI file with embedded EPS images. The DVI is output
- from latex. Very annoying as evince-thumbnailer is triggered
- automatically in the background every time the DVI file changes.
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
+ Release:	15.04
  
- This is a regression as it was working fine just two days ago with 14.04
- before the update.
