Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xdg-utils

This bug definitely affects the Lubuntu distribution, but may also
affect the vanilla Ubuntu distribution.

It manifests itself as an inability to click downloaded files in
Chromium or Google Chrome. This is due to a bug with xdg-open, which can
be tested by running the following in a terminal:

~$ xdg-open /tmp
Warning: unknown mime-type for "/tmp" -- using "application/octet-stream"
Error: no "view" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"

It was fixed upstream in the following bug report:

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23280

>From what I can tell this has not made it downstream yet, as the bug
persists in Lucid, using the latest package xdg-utils 1.0.2-6.1ubuntu3

Hopefully this upstream fix can be applied, or the packages synced,
which should resolve the issue.
