Postinstall message not correct

Messages for package x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.51:

 * 
 * The database format has changed between 0.30 and 0.40.
 * You may need to update all your local databases and caches.
 * To do so, please run the following commands:
 * (for each user) $ update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/
 * (as root)       # update-mime-database /usr/local/share/mime/

a) it's talking about 0.40
and 
b) at least the path for the root command is wrong (at least for me)
looks like the correct path is /usr/share/mime/

Yet it hasn't changed later on. This is what it means : "0.30 and >=0.40"

That path is done by the ebuild. Admins/users have to take care of paths that Portage doesn't manage itself: /usr/local and $HOME directories.

So, maybe the wording could be improved a little bit. But it's still 100% right.

Thanks
