And that's what I understand from this excerpt in comment #10:
***

However, the latest xdg-utils in Debian recommends libfile-mimeinfo-perl,
which gives it the ability to determine MIME types and open files using
Freedesktop.org standards. Also, gnome-desktop-environment depends on
gvfs-bin. So the latest xdg-utils should work in Gnome regardless.

The bug talks about "libfile-mimeinfo-perl" but AFAICT from the above
report, it would work only for the latest version of the package...
