Obsolete since GNOME 2.8 (really used only for GNOME <= 2.4) and AFAIK not longer used. To associate your program with your MIME-type you need to create a .desktop-file and install it into /usr/share/applications. See [1]. > I have create too a program file in > /usr/lib/mime/packages You need to create a new entry for the shared-mime-info database in /usr/share/mime/packages. See [2]. The above mentioned directory contains the entries for metamail's /etc/mimecap. > but the system dont recognize my *.cgt files yet...

The postinst script is ok, but you run update-mime-database without installing the necessary entry to /usr/share/mime/packages.
