Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
Evince fails to open PDF files that do not contain a suffix. The error
reported in the document window is:
Unable to open document
Error opening file: Permission denied
To reproduce:
- identify a valid PDF file (with .pdf suffix)
- ln file.pdf file (same content, different names)
- attempt to open both files. The suffix-less file will fail.
I'm nearly certain that this is a regression from Karmic.
