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.
