Package: timidity
Version: 2.13.2-39+b1
Severity: normal
timidity does not update system wide mailcup database to play .midi files:
I have installed timidity. Then I run:
$ run-mailcap --debug=1 drums-11.midi
- parsing parameter "drums-11.midi"
- Reading mime.types file "/etc/mime.types"...
- extension "midi" maps to mime-type "audio/midi"
- Reading mailcap file "/home/user/.mailcap"...
- Reading mailcap file "/etc/mailcap"...
Processing file "drums-11.midi" of type "audio/midi" (encoding=none)...
- checking mailcap entry "audio/midi; pmidi '%s'; test=test -n
"$ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS""
- program to execute: pmidi '%s'
- running test: test -n "$ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS" (result=1=false)
Error: no "view" rule for type "audio/midi" passed its test case
(for more information, add "--debug=1" on the command line)
$ grep audio/midi /etc/mailcap
audio/midi; pmidi '%s'; test=test -n "$ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS"
As you see there are no attempt to use timidity as MIDI file viewer.
To fix this issue maintainer must create:
$ cat /usr/lib/mime/packages/timidity
audio/midi; timidity %s; description=MIDI file
and use update-mime(8) utility in postinstall script as say man page...
