In /etc/mailcap, gpdf is ahead of xpdf, making gpdf the default for pdf
documents.
I prefer to use xpdf, so I follow the instructions in /etc/mailcap.order by
adding the line
xpdf:application/pdf
in it, and then running /usr/sbin/update-mime.
But as far as I can tell, it does absolutely nothing. gpdf still appears
ahead of xpdf in /etc/mailcap. It looks as though /etc/mailcap is exactly
the same.
What's going wrong?

I believe it's because there is no mime information for "xpdf".
Instead, it's in "xpdf-reader". You can verify this by looking under
/usr/lib/mime/package/ for "xpdf*".
Thus, use: "xpdf-reader:application/xpdf"
