Package: shared-mime-info Version: 0.71-4 Severity: important Tags: upstream
The file /usr/share/mime/mime.cache contains only five glob entries on my system, and my $HOME/.local/share/mime/mime.cache contains zero glob entries. This is what the N_GLOBS field in mime.cache says. I also inspected /usr/share/mime/mime.cache in a text editor and could only find a few glob strings in there. My /usr/share/mime/globs2 file contains 844 entries. I tried deleting my mime.cache file and rebuilding it with update-mime-database to no avail. The globs that are in the GlobList in my /usr/share/mime/mime.cache are: *.anim[1-9j] Makefile.* README* cachegrind.out* callgrind.out* I found the same to be true on a newly installed Fedora 15 system, so this bug is not isolated to Debian. When googling around for solutions to my problem, I could only find one other guy who had the same problem as me at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1078273 It seems strange to me that nobody else has noticed this pretty obvious bug, so either I'm doing something terribly wrong or nobody actually uses the mime.cache file. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages shared-mime-info depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-2+squeeze1 GNOME XML library shared-mime-info recommends no packages. shared-mime-info suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
