Find, get and install xpdf 3.02-21. After checking that it works fine,
set the "hold" flag on the package so that it will not get "upgraded"
(also known as "completely broken") any more.
Something like
echo xpdf hold|sudo dpkg --set-selections
Yes, this is stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
I think I also saw some recipe for getting evince to work with
point&click when doing a web search, but it involved meddling with the
gconf configuration of either evince or GNOME's URI handlers.
