As Albert Wagner noticed: ============= It also installed the following item in ~/.local/share/mime/application/x-extension-grdb.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mime-type xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"; type="application/x-extension-grdb"> <!--Created automatically by update-mime-database. DO NOT EDIT!--> <comment>grdb document</comment> </mime-type> and the following in ~/.local/share/mime/packages/Override.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info";> <mime-type type="application/x-extension-grdb"><comment>grdb document</comment><glob pattern="*.grdb"/></mime-type> </mime-info> ============= What happens is that the gramps's files with the .grdb extension are now seen as having the mime type of application/x-extension-grdb instead of intended application/x-gramps type. Why on earth would the update-mime-database auto-screwed up the mime types that we properly register in gramps? This is a major problem, as most users rely on format autodetection and that is done in gramps throug mime types. Please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or #gramps on irc.freenode.net A lot of gramps users run Ubuntu. This pulls the floor from under them. ** Changed in: gramps (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed ** Bug 56642 has been marked a duplicate of this bug -- After installing Gramps, double-clicking .grdb file gives "Couldn't display" error https://launchpad.net/bugs/53113 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
