I have not altered (knowingly!) my 'org-file-apps' for years. Its value
is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

Value:
(("\\.pdf\\'" . "xpdf %s")
 (auto-mode . emacs)
 ("\\.x?html?\\'" lambda
  (file link)
  (eww-open-file file))
 ("\\.pdf\\'" . system)
 ("\\.dvi\\'" . system)
 ("\\.ps\\'" . system))

Original value was 
((auto-mode . emacs)
 (directory . emacs)
 ("\\.mm\\'" . default)
 ("\\.x?html?\\'" . default)
 ("\\.pdf\\'" . default))

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The odd thing is that my problem has just arisen. I don't remember
having it before say a few weeks ago.

Best wishes,

Colin.
