Greetings guys;

What are some common post install commands I should know about?
For instance, I know that if a package installs a .desktop file, I should run "update-desktop-database" to update the cache. For some programs there's gtk-update-icon-cache, though I don't really know when I need to run that, I just run after every gtk package.

I had some problems with akonadi earlier, and after some debugging, I noticed it outputting something about some mail mime types being invalid, so I ran update-mime-database, and that solved it.

Anything else I should be aware about? I ask since everything is installed using a DESTDIR method, so if make install is expected to fix some of this stuff, it's not.

Thanks a lot for any pointers.
