Same happen here. Such thing let update extremely slow. Is this really necessary? Regards --- > (I'm running the GIT version of portage)
Maybe portage team will know more.
Every KDE package unconditionally runs that to ensure update-mime-database via fdo-mime eclass, to ensure the MIME database is up-to-date. In order to do this on a per-package basis, we would need to inspect over 500 packages. (In reply to Zhu Sha Zang from comment #1) > Same happen here. Such thing let update extremely slow.

The issue of the slow mime database update in =x11-misc/shared-mime-info-1.2 can be fixed by re-emerging the package bug #487504. Maybe package maintainer will do a revbump to force the rebuild. |
