** Description changed:

+ Impact:
+ libreoffice database odb file open in file-roller rather than libreoffice
  
- 1. Create a new database file (foo.odb) using LibreOffice Base.
- 2. Close LibreOffice.
- 3. Open foo.odb via dash home / recent files. Since the odb extension is 
associated with Archive Manager (alias File Roller) as a default, I got a nice 
error at this point.
+ Test case:
+ - Create a new database file (foo.odb) using LibreOffice Base (or download 
the one from comment #3)
+ - Open foo.odb via dash home / recent files or double click on it in nautilus
+ 
+ With the fixed version it should open with libreoffice-base
+ 
+ Regression potential:
+ - the odb files could open with the wrong application still
+ 
+ ---
+ 
+ Since the odb extension is associated with Archive Manager (alias File
+ Roller) as a default, I got a nice error at this point.
  
  If I open Nautilis and correct the file association to LibreOffice, the
  above steps work OK, as expected. The question is: why was the odf
  extension by default associated with the Archive Manager application?
