The real fix is this change to the shared-mime-info data: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/commit/freedesktop.org.xml.in?id=0c41ac819d483b3de89de1c2e58cdfbcf1f0f3c7. The ever reliable Arfrever filed this upstream mid May. The above is a snippet from the final comment. The bug and the fix lies in the dep package shared-mime-info, which comes under the banner of the <herd>freedesktop</herd>. There is currently no new release to shared-mime-info, so the above commit still is not in place in shared-mime-info. Markus if you're still reading and still keen, tread on the toes of those of freedesktop and ask please fix broken shared-mime-info because I can do more no more than that. This is not a bug in dev-python/pyxdg-0.25.
I tried the patch for shared-mime-info and this did not solve the problem for me, the test still failed in the same way, however it's quite possible that I messed it up somewhere. Needs to be investigated.

Re-opening; this is certainly not impossible to fix.

Needs to be investigated. Does this amount to; The real fix is this change to the shared-mime-info data: amounts to erronoeous?
(In reply to Ian Delaney from comment #6) > Does this amount to; > The real fix is this change to the shared-mime-info data: > amounts to erronoeous? I did a bit more testing. If I apply the patch [1] from comment 2 I see the exact same test failure as with shared-mime-info-1.1 from the tree (I verified that the patch did actually apply). So this does not seem to be the fix it was thought to be. However if I delete the x-apple-ios-png mime entry in shared-mime-info-1.1 the test failure vanishes as expected.

I've just committed 0.26 and it passes all tests for me.
