Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evince

Evince in feisty no longer seems to be able to open postscript files. I
have converted the same files to pdf using my system's ps2pdf, and the
pdf then displays OK.

Here's one example:
http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/NucleicAcid/longpart.ps

So far, I haven't been able to get it to show any actually postscript
files. This worked in edgy.

Apparently, the interpreter is failing:

$ killall evince
$ evince longpart.ps

** (evince:7833): WARNING **: Interpreter failed.

** Affects: evince (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
