LaTeX gave me this error message when I was trying to compile a table exported by gnumerics:

! LaTeX Error: File `utf8.def' not found.

I searched and found out there's a file called "utf8x.def" installed by latex-unicode package.

So I solved this problem by:

1.
cp /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/latex-unicode/utf8x.def /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/latex-unicode/utf8.def

2.
texhash

I also notice that nobody has reported this bug to the bugzilla yet.

Maybe you should report the bug so it can be fixed?

I don't even have an account for the bugzilla system, so if you do, could you please just post it for me, thank you :-)

No, you need to, sorry. I don't use latex, so I wouldn't be able to give any additional info. Accounts are free, and they're real easy to set up.

I know this is quite old, but just for reference
Code:
The simplest use of this package is to add
        \usepackage{ucs}
        \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
:)

In case anyone else is searching for: Why "muttprint does not print anything," or "muttprint complains that it can't find the dvi file," creating a symbolic link from utf8x.def to utf8.def solved the problem for me.
Code:
cd /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/latex-unicode/
ln -s utf8x.def utf8.def
texhash
