Natty still has this bug and shares the same version of xdg-utils and libfile-mimeinfo-perl, which were synced from Debian. I did some testing and found that the bug is indeed shared between Ubuntu and Debian, however it's obscured on Debian. Apparently xdg-mime will assume gnomevfs-info is available if it's running within Gnome, even if it is not. On Debian this is only noticable if you manually remove gvfs-bin package (which isn't installed by default on Ubuntu). So, on Unstable Gnome with gvfs-bin removed and on Natty Gnome: $ touch foo.txt $ export XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=10 $ xdg-mime query filetype foo.txt Running gnomevfs-info "/home/scott/foo.txt" On Unstable virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) or on Natty virtual terminal: $ touch foo.txt $ export XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=10 $ xdg-mime query filetype foo.txt Running mimetype -b "/home/scott/foo.txt" text/plain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
