It did for me (after doing that, nautilus reported, e.g., .gnumeric as the proper type instead of "unknown"). One of the packages mentioned says something about freedesktop.org (in one of the files I read under /usr/share/mime).

I see. I'll have to try this out.
What by the way, is "postint?"

I experienced the same problem recently while updating unstable (I've been running unstable for a while; it's possible I accidentally corrupted some file).
Anyway, I solved my problem by running apt-get install --reinstall [all the programs Ron mentioned above]. All the programs were already installed on the system except mimedecode (which, as Bruce mentioned, doesn't directly solve the problem). That's the easy way to do it. I'm pretty sure the reason it works is because one of the postinst scripts rebuilds whatever file it was I lost. One interesting postinst runs 'update-mime-database /usr/share/mime'.
Good luck. - Tim
Tim,
Did that acutally rebuild the database? I was told that the application responsible is gone to better integrated different desktops.
