The problem is in the mime-support package which is unable to gather the information *where it is*. It is not up to every package maintainer to translate it for the handful of packages that still use mailcap. > And then you simply decided to > amputate this feature completely rather than fix the bugs related to it. > Seriously? > > Looks like an NMU invitation to me. If you have time to do NMUs for such bizarre requests, maybe you have enough time to help fix real bugs in evince? Or maybe enough time to fix mime-support? Note that normally NMUs are much appreciated, but re-introducing this anti-feature will not be. Unless the NMUer is committing to maintain this mailcap file at every new upstream release, of course. -- .''`.
