Package: subtitlecomposer
Version: 0.5.3-4
Severity: normal
Dear maintainers of subtitlecomposer,
the installation of the package subtitlecomposer breaks the MIME type
detection of certain PNGs.
Before installation of subtitlecomposer:
| mast:~$ gvfs-info headset.png | grep content-type
| standard::content-type: image/png
| standard::fast-content-type: image/png
After installation of subtitlecomposer:
| mast:~$ gvfs-info headset.png | grep content-type
| standard::content-type: text/x-tmplayer
| standard::fast-content-type: image/png
Note that the PNG file content type is now detected as "text/x-tmplayer"
(before: "image/png"). The required file "headset.png" is attached to
this message.
This affects other programs, e.g. it breaks the Ambiance theme window
decoration in a bug reported to Ubuntu [1] or it crashes the PulseAudio
volume control without error message in my case (the Gtk call to load
the icon throws an unhandled exception - and I'd guess that the problem
can also affect other Gtk-based programs in the same way).
The problem can be fixed temporarily by lowering the priority of
text/x-tmplayer and text/x-tmplayer+ from 100 to 40 in
/usr/share/mime/packages/subtitlecomposer.xml and updating the database
by executing "update-mime-database /usr/share/mime".
A permanent fix is available upstream [2] (see also the upstream bug
report [3]).
Thank you for maintaining subtitlecomposer and in advance for fixing
this problem!
Cheers,
Martin
