And that's what I understand from this excerpt in comment #10: *** (...) However, the latest xdg-utils in Debian recommends libfile-mimeinfo-perl, which gives it the ability to determine MIME types and open files using Freedesktop.org standards. Also, gnome-desktop-environment depends on gvfs-bin. So the latest xdg-utils should work in Gnome regardless. *** But I may have got it wrong :-) > I don't have gvfs-bin by the way, but I do have gvfs, gvfs-backends and > gvfs-fuse. The bug talks about "libfile-mimeinfo-perl" but AFAICT from the above report, it would work only for the latest version of the package...
