Comment 7 for bug 940853

This is a work-around that worked for me, involving compiling the package from source (sorry it might be ugly but I'm not rely a Linux development savvy):

Download the source code djview4.
ola@minifix:/usr/local/src$ apt-get source djview4
ola@minifix:/usr/local/src$ cd djview4-4.9/

run
ola@minifix:/usr/local/src/djview4-4.9$ ./configure

edit config.h, ensure that you have #undef HAVE_XT in the file to compile without Xt
then

ola@minifix:/usr/local/src/djview4-4.9$ make
ola@minifix:/usr/local/src/djview4-4.9$ sudo checkinstall --fstrans=0

make a link from the browser plugin library (in my case /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins) to the plugin you just installed (in my case it installed in /usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins) (you need to rename or delete the original plugin before you do this)

ola@minifix:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins/nsdejavu.so nsdejavu.so
