Nothing to do with that. OpenOffice documents are zip files with a bunch of files in it. We advertise that fact in shared-mime-info. file-roller is launched because we don't have LibreOffice or OpenOffice installed so the file manager looks for the next best handler: the zip file handler. Aside from debugging, it should never be opened within file-roller. > What is the relation with shared-mime-info, and why should it be a bug in it? So I think we should just remove the sub-class of zip in this case, but it would probably break mime detection.

This sounds like an (ugly) ad-hoc solution just to solve this specific case. I'm pretty sure there could be (now or in the future) more cases when you want to handle a mime type but not one or more specific subclasses of it, so my suggestion would be discussing it in the xdg ml for a better solution (most probably at application level, out of shared-mime-info).

What other mime-types have that problem? I can't see any, so it's not that bad a solution.

The solution is bad because the zip inheritance is perfectly fine from a shared-mime-info point of view (it represents mime types, after all). If the problem is not letting a specific user-level file archiver application see openoffice documents as zip, then let's find an application-level solution for this (and any
