Now I'm also noticing that some types are not associated correctly anymore. For example /usr/share/applications/defaults.list contains the entry "application/pdf=evince.desktop" and /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache contains the entry "application/pdf=gimp.desktop;evince-previewer.desktop;evince.desktop;" (both files are readable by my user) but on a double click on a PDF document evince is not started and the context menu doesn't even contain an entry for evince.

Here is a testcase: /usr/local/share/applications/defaults.list contains: [Default Applications] text/plain=SciTE.desktop; /usr/local/share/applications/test.desktop contains: [Desktop Entry] Exec=true MimeType=text/plain; Name=Test NoDisplay=true Type=Application On executing "update-desktop-database" /usr/local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache is created and contains: [MIME Cache] text/plain=test.desktop; With libglib2.0-0 2.40.x SciTE will be at the first position of the context menu and Test on the second position. After upgrading libglib2.0-0 to version 2.41.0-1 Test will be at the first position of the context menu and SciTE on the second. It seems defaults.list is ignored or its ordering is not considered anymore. Edit: I have now noticed that on a double click of a file the correct application will be started if it is registered in defaults.list while the context menu is still showing the wrong order.
