Promote evince in /etc/mailcap.order
0
GIMP very unexpectedly took over opening PDF files a while ago when issuing the see command. It is listed in /etc/mailcap before the more appropriate evince. Of course I can edit this file by hand, but since it is managed by the system, the next update-mime run will overwrite these changes. There is a file called /etc/mailcap.order that promises to help to achieve exactly what I want. I added and entry there: evince:application/pdf However, the next update-mime run answers with: Warning: package evince listed in /etc/mailcap.order does not have mailcap entries. Changing the package name to evince-common or changing the media type to */* did not achieve anything. So what is the right format?
evince mime-type
