Two more requirements:
- desktop-file-utils
- shared-mime-info
You don't really need these.

The lines in the postinstall scripts involving desktop-database and
mime-database were added by cygport, not by me. The errors are harmless
and can be ignored. If/when this becomes a regular package installed by
setup.exe, you won't even see the error messages except perhaps in some
log file.
Sorry, I wrote my response without reading your post carefully enough.
I don't have desktop-file-utils and shared-mime-info installed, so I
didn't see your error messages; I only saw errors like
/usr/bin/update-mime-database: No such file or directory
I'm not sure why you're getting permission denied errors. I would still
bet that it's harmless. But if it's not, and if it's something about my
packaging that caused this, maybe someone can tell me how to fix it.
