Public bug reported:
Today I noticed that pdf attachments aren't declared as application/pdf anymore
but application/octet-stream.
I found that /etc/mime.types seems to be ignored and
it only works again if I add "application/pdf pdf" to my $HOME/.mime.types.
However the fine mutt manual says:
When you add an attachment to your mail message, Mutt searches your personal
mime.types file at $HOME/.mime.types, and then the system mime.types file at
/usr/local/share/mutt/mime.types or /etc/mime.types
Actually strace shows only this:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/andy/.mime.types", O_RDONLY) = 3
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/local/etc/mime.types", O_RDONLY) = 3
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/local/share/mutt/mime.types", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
Any idea what might have happened recently?
Thanks,
Andy
PS: "SYSCONFDIR" is looking strange - So I assume this is an ubuntu
