I had a problem in which evince didn't look for the right MIME database when I asked it to display a PDF file. Running update-mime-database showed:
netra ~ # update-mime-database /opt/csw/share/mime Note that '/opt/csw/share' is not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variables, so applications may not be able to find it until you set them. The directories currently searched are: - /root/.local/share - /usr/local/share/ - /usr/share/ After setting XDG_DATA_DIRS to /opt/csw/share, evince started showing PDF documents. What is our way of handling it? Have the users configure the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable for themselves? Embed this setting in each application? Any other way?
