jessie: `evince`, `atril`, `okular` unable to open PDFs; "libtiff.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"


Hi all,

Context: jessie x86_64 [+updates], recently upgraded from wheezy.
i've started having a strange issue where none of `evince`, `atril` or `okular` can open PDFs. All produce the error:
libtiff.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 

Indeed, `locate libtiff.so.4` returns no results, and
$ locate libtiff4 /var/lib/dpkg/info/libtiff4:amd64.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/libtiff4:amd64.postrm /var/lib/dpkg/info/libtiff4:i386.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/libtiff4:i386.postrm 

i do have `libtiff5` installed, however:
$ aptitude versions '^libtiff5$' Package libtiff5: i A | 990 | 35 | 4.0.3-12.3 | | stable | Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library | Jay Berkenbilt <qjb@debian.org> Package libtiff5:i386: i A | 990 | 3 | 4.0.3-12.3 | | stable | Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library | Jay Berkenbilt <qjb@debian.org> 

   $ locate libtiff.so.5
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5.2.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5.2.0 

Further:
$ aptitude versions 'libtiff4' Package libtiff4: p | 100 | 0 | 3.9.6-11 | | | Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library (old ve | Jay Berkenbilt <qjb@debian.org> Package libtiff4:i386: p | 100 | 0 | 3.9.6-11 | | | Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library (old ve | Jay Berkenbilt <qjb@debian.org>
which doesn't say which archive the libtiff4 package is available from. Removing all commented-out lines from my /etc/apt/sources.list, it contains:
# # Debian # # Jessie = stable deb http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free # deb-multimedia deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org jessie main non-free # IceWeasel deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ jessie-backports iceweasel-release Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be going on, please? 


Alexis.
