SOLUTIONS FOR THIS BUG
====================
There are 3 basic possible solutions for you... I list them from
preferred to less preferred:
NOTE: All solutions need you first to REMOVE any exo entry in your
'~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list' file. Do that as an user (NOT as
root) by:
1. grep 'exo' ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
2. open the file ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list in a
text editor and manually remove all entries found by (1),
save the file
3. update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
THEN select ONE of the following options:
1. Update your repos and update the exo-utils package (this solution
will ONLY work when the proposed fix hits the repos, so at the time of
this writing it is not available and not working!)
2. Add my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~phobosk/+archive/phobosk-ppa) to
your repos, update them and update exo-utils package
3. AS ROOT edit the affected .desktop files by running:
sed -i -e 's/^MimeType=/X-XFCE-MimeType=/' \
/usr/share/applications/exo-file-manager.desktop \
/usr/share/applications/exo-mail-reader.desktop \
/usr/share/applications/exo-web-browser.desktop
update-desktop-database
