Package: mime-support Version: 3.55 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hello,
I was wondering today how I ended up with entries for evince in mailcap as it has dropped support for /usr/lib/mime/packages. I only found the solution in changelog and the bts. desktop entries are read, too. Find attached a simple patch to document this feature in update-mime(8). Thanks, cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin. His other friends are so grateful to you.' `I sew his ears on from time to time, sure'
