Package: mime-support
Version: 3.34-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

update-mime should warn users when a package as read from
/etc/mailcap.order does not match any package which register mime
entries.

For example, I prefer xine to display video/* files. So I added the
following line to mailcap.order:
xine:*/*
then I ran update-mime and... nothing happend!

It took me some time to find reason of this: there's no such package as
xine, the xine program is provided by xine-ui. 
I had a similar situation with gvim, where the package name is vim-gtk, not 
gvim.

I think it would be very nice if update-mime would warn about this.

Best Regards,
robert
