So I wouldn't consider this buggy behavior. However I don't know the internals of xdg-mime well enough to judge. > Furthermore, regarding now under Sid/console, xdg-mime is using > /usr/share/applications/defaults.list to find the right application; > this file is supposed to be created by update-desktop-database (part of > the desktop-file-utils package); this call is supposed to be added to > packages through dh_desktop, but man dh_desktop under Sid tells me that > it's obsolete and doesn't do anything. defaults.list is AFAIK not intended to be created. The file created is mimeinfo.cache. The defaults.list file is only created when e.g. configuring a default application for a MIME type via e.g. nautilus. But xdg-query should probably return the first registered application in mimeinfo.cache when no defaults.list is available (IMO this is what happens usually, when no default application is configured).
