Well that is what I thought. And before Tassilo suggested to try 
/snap/evince/current/usr/libexec/evinced

I even installed the snap version of emacs (without success)

I am thinking of trying to install via snap the glib library but I
hesitate, since the last thing I want is now to screw up my Ubuntu
installation at least not for the coming 2 weeks.

I googled a bit and found that 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/2031259

So I presume there is a bug of sorts.
