Public bug reported:
Trying to open a pdf file gives the message (after selecting 'all
files'):
'/home/paulo/test.pdf' failed: Unknown file type
It is possible though to export an image as pdf.
This problem started in Ubuntu 13.10 (can't remember any
specific change or update in other packages other than the regular updates from
Ubuntu repositories) and persisted after a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 and
Gimp.
Below the console output while opening a pdf file (from the command
line):
