Created attachment 490412 [details] app-text:xdvik-22.87.03:20170824-153528.log My Portage branch that is still waiting for review says: * QA Notice: .desktop files with MimeType= were found installed * but desktop mimeinfo cache has not been updated: * /usr/share/applications/xdvi-xdvik.desktop * Please make sure to call xdg_desktop_database_update() * in pkg_postinst() and pkg_postrm() phases of appropriate pkgs.
Then make your portage branch do that automatically like we already do for info db, man db or ld.so.cache; it's not different here
This is planned for a future EAPI. Until then, you have to do with the eclasses.
