Updated a jessie system this morning.  Then tried evince.

  evince afile.pdf

  A window entitled "Document Viewer" with this notice popped open.
"Unable to open document "file:///home/peter/afile.pdf".
File type HTML document (text/html) is not supported

OK, but the command is not to open an HTML.  It is "evince afile.pdf".

Does anyone have an explanation or solution?

Thanks,                   ... Peter E.
