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
I tried it with various pdf files, including a pdf file created in GIMP.
Never works.
And yes, I am sure, it started a few weeks ago when I was still using
Ubuntu 13.10. I only upgraded Ubuntu to 14.04 this weekend and the
problem persists.
It might be a specific problem on my system, I don't
Not only that, when upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 I had a complete clean
install of my Linux (for unrelated reasons). But just to make sure,
after that I did purge and install GIMP again to make sure.

I solved the problem. As expected, also from your comments, it was a
problem on my computer. There were a number of GIMP files in my
/usr/local folde
