Package: mailcap
Version: 3.69
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
In update-mime, setting all variable with 'my' prevents them from
being updated by the conf file (/etc/update-mime.conf). Setting them
to 'our' solves this issue. We use this so that locally installed
applications won't mess up the distribution's /usr/lib (specifically
$appsdir and $mimedir).
Regards,
Yair.
