Description John Dough 2010-03-07 18:27:30 UTC

After upgrading to x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.70 I get the info message

* Messages for package x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.70:

 *
 * The database format has changed between 0.60 and 0.70.
 * 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/
 *

Yet when I run this command as root I get the error

# update-mime-database /usr/local/share/mime/
Directory '/usr/local/share/mime/packages' does not exist!

It runs fine as a user though

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade to x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.70:
2. run update-mime-database /usr/local/share/mime/ as root




suggested that the ebuild is corrected to display the correct path as root.
