--- Begin Message ---Package: qgo Version: 2.0~git-20130914-1 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package deletes one of its shipped files during upgrades. debsums reports modification of the following files, from the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m50.7s ERROR: FAIL: debsums reports modifications inside the chroot: debsums: missing file /usr/share/mime/text/x-sgf.xml (from qgo package) Cheers, Andreas

--- Begin Message ---Hi, first of all, the behaviour of update-mime-database is correct: it deletes files in *generated* directories. Yes, the various application, audio, text, subdirectories under /usr/share/mime are business of update-mime-database, where it places the XML mimetypes generated from the XML definitions in /usr/share/mime/packages. It is exactly in this directory where applications should install XML definitions of mime types to have them registered in the XDG mime type system. Installing stuff directly to e.g. /usr/share/mime/text is like installing to, say, /var/cache (i.e., you shouldn't). Furthermore, qgo is installing wrong things, and I will send the proper explanation and fix to #749582. This is not a bug in shared-mime-info, hence closing. -- Pino Toscano
