Bug#1000259: RM: gnome-mime-data -- RoQA; orphaned, dead upstream for 10+ years, no longer used

[Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: gnome-mime-data@packages.debian.org

gnome-mime-data seems to have been the equivalent of shared-mime-info for
the old gnome-vfs framework, which is no longer maintained or part of GNOME
(since GNOME 3.0 in 2011, maybe earlier) and was already removed from Debian.

All modern GNOME versions use freedesktop.org mechanisms involving
shared-mime-info, the same as other major desktop environments.

According to `dak rm -R -n gnome-mime-data`, nothing depends on
gnome-mime-data any more. Please remove it.

Thanks,
