application/vnd.debian.binary-package and
org.kde.apper.desktop Is what I get on a clean installation. Perhaps it is different when installing from the live CD? I haven't tried installing from the standard installer with Bullseye, but I am pretty sure the with Buster I would get the same result even in the standard install. I'd be happy to test it if it would be any help. But I think it isn't so much a problem with mime associations in general. There seems to be some outstanding issues with apper when I glance through the bug reports. Switching the file association to discover works fines. And when I do so I get the same results you do when running xdg-mime query filetype XXX.deb org.kde.discover.desktop Thanks, Caleb On Mon, 19 Apr 2021 17:02:55 +0900 Norbert Preining <norb...@preining.info> wrote: > Jo > > > * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or > > ineffective)?
