Bug 258824

Summary:	x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.51: wrong path in database upgrade information
Product:	Gentoo Linux	Reporter:	Quasimodo <quasi>
Component:	New packages	Assignee:	Freedesktop bugs <freedesktop-bugs>
Status:	RESOLVED DUPLICATE
Severity:	trivial	CC:	mmokrejs
Priority:	High
Version:	unspecified
Hardware:	x86
OS:	Linux
Whiteboard:
Package list:		Runtime testing required:	---

Description Quasimodo 2009-02-13 08:57:26 UTC

The upgrade info is:

 * 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/
 * 

The path for the system-wide mime database is /usr/share/mime and NOT /usr/local/share/mime


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade x11-misc/shared-mime-info from 0.30 to 0.51
2. try to follow the upgrade procedure

Comment 1 Thorsten Vollmer 2009-02-13 14:03:49 UTC

The ebuild is correct. The system-wide database is handled automatically by fdo-mime_mime_database_update in pkg_postinst. You only need to care about /usr/local/share/mime if it exists.

Comment 2 Quasimodo 2009-02-13 14:55:04 UTC

OK, so this should be mentioned by the ebuild messages? As user you can't know that it is automatically handled. The message implies that manual action is required.

Nothing is implied, portage deals with its files, users are told to handle theirs.
