Um... actually, they are supposed to be in there - you found a bug. Run update-mime with -3 installed and you'll find them in there :) It'll be fixed in -4 (postinst is missing ATM). > That would call the setup for the users who haven't run it > yet and let it work for the others as expected.

I don't know what happens with ~/.mailcap - it's beyond my understanding/control currently ;) > Secondly: The openoffice script checks hardcoded for ~/.openoffice > instead of checking ~/.sversionrc about that (imagine people editing > /etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf or people running > /usr/lib/openoffice/program/setup on their own.

Hmm, well at least with a fixed ~/.openoffice we know if the user ran setup manually for themselves :) The whole setup thing needs looking at - making this one change won't fix a great deal and will make it harder to tell if there was another problem. It needs a good solution, not just another hack. > Last this time: It yields an error on setup for the creation of > ~/.gnome/apps/OpenOffice.org 1.0/mathdoc.desktop -- it produces an error > on creation and makes only a zero byte file.

Yes, that sounds like it's likely to be an upstream problem. I'm not 100% sure that the registration process actually works yet...
