Bug#348025: kdelibs seem to broke MIME types for entire KDE!
tags 348025 unreproducible
severity 348025 important
stop
I suspect someone would have noticed by now if the latest kdelibs were
simply hosing their entire desktop; there must be something else going on
here.
First of all, I'd do a dist-upgrade to the latest unstable. The latest
libdjvulibre package no longer conflicts with kdelibs-data. A nice clean
purge/reinstall of kdelibs might help, again. Be sure to apt-get clean,
then re-download the packages, to make sure you're not using something
corrupted. Also, you might want to move your ~/.kde directory aside (say,
to ~/.kde-old) and then try again; that way you can eliminate the
possibility that a problem with your user settings is at the root of the
problem.
Cheers,
Christopher Martin
