It seems like that kmimetypefinder5 is major culprit here. I've found another
unrelated bugreport here which was reported about a year ago:
in fact the script doesn't seem to used shared-mime-info
$ XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=1 xdg-mime query filetype index.html
Running mimetype --brief --dereference "/tmp/index.html"
text/html
could you try to use the command with the same environement variable and
share the output?

type though...

configuration?

Hi Sebastien. Thaks your for your reply.
I suggest you to do the following to see that even if file is starting
with proper tags it is recognized as `application/x-perl`:
$ tee "index.html" <
use strict
eol
$ xdg-mime query filetype index.html # -> application/x-perl - wrong
type
Why did you

Bump.
