Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

When i open a DVI file, the file is correctly displayed, but the images (in eps format) are missing. When I open the same file in KDVI everything is displayed correctly.

Still there in evince 2.20.0, Gutsy Beta (AMD64) with all updates until 6th of October.
This is really annoying, as working with Latex means that you deal very much with .dvi files...

rangecheck -15

** (evince:11071): WARNING **: Error rendering thumbnail

and a blank screen.

Same here. Using Intrepid and evince only displays a blank page. I don't get any warnings as stecklum did though.
