I believe I updated evince early this month on this one server. Since then I don't seem to be able to open a .pdf: 100% of the time, I get "unhandled mime type: files/allfiles". Has anyone seen anything like this?
Note that this is when it's allegedly trying to open it. I've tried telling it what to open from the command line, and brought it up by itself, told it to open, pointed it to the correct directory, and clicked on the .pdf I want, and hit <open>, and *bang*, it doesn't like it.
I've rm'd .local/share/mime/mime.cache and .gnome2/evince/ev-metadata.xml. straceing doesn't even show me the filename mentioned.

Yeah, and I believe I've done it on other systems, which is why I'm befuddled. Googling only shows me folks who had it come back with "application=octet/stream", not files/allfiles.
