after successful emerging x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.71 an elog message is printed saying: > ... > elog "(as root) # update-mime-database ${EPREFIX}/usr/local/share/mime/" > ... beside the fact that on prefix it's not necessarily root who owns the installation it's just a wrong path. the database is actually in > "${EPREFIX}/usr/share/mime" running the command as printed results in an error message about a missing directory and the process aborts. running update-mime-database with the correct path succeeds. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Nope, the message is exactly correct because it automatically updates the "proper path" and then says "you MAY need to update local paths" If you don't have any local caches/paths then you don't have to do anything. :)
