various problems might be caused by mime.cache gone missing
Hi,
I have no idea of the trouble it might create, so this is a public
service announcement:
it seems /usr/share/mime/mime.cache is no longer there on most systems,
it should come back with the next shared-mime-info update (just
uploaded it).
My explanation on how it went missing is:
- random package includes /usr/share/mime/mime.cache in its *.install
file and overwrites the generated file
- random package gets fixed, and doesn't ship the file anymore,
however dpkg removes the file on upgrade
If anyone know of how this happened (such as a package shipping
mime.cache in the past), I'm interested in knowing which.
This also happened with a different file and control-center (see
1:2.12.1-2).
Cheers,
