This happens for me as well, starting with today's version of evince in
karmic.  Any time I try and open a pdf file evince gives the error

File type unknown (application/octet-stream) is not supported

If I try and open a postscript (ps) file, evince gives the error

File type plain text document (text/plain) is not supported

I can confirm they are pdf files using the file command in the shell or
opening them in xpdf or gs.
