Subject: drivel: breaks the MIME database

Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2004 14:48:05 +0100

Package: drivel
Version: 1.2.3-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

The latest drivel update entirely broke the freedesktop MIME database,
by including the /usr/share/mime/{XMLnamespaces,glob,magic} files.
Please run update-mime-database /usr/share/mime in the postinst instead.

tags 286482 + patch
thanks

The attached patch prevents update-mime-database from being run at
package build time and makes it be run at package install time (in the
postinst).

If no problems turn up, I'm planning to make an NMU based on this patch
in the near future.

Thanks for the patch.

The updated package is curretnly being looked at by my AM (csmall) for
upload, and can be found at http://www.halon.org.uk/debian/drivel if you
want to install it anyway.

Many thanks,

Looking at the .diff.gz I found for 1.2.3-2 there, I have two comments:

 - It isn't enough to run update-mime-database in the postinst. The fact
   that it is run during the build process causes files to be included
   in the package which shouldn't. Please take another look at the
   changes to the rules file in the patch I filed to see how I fixed
   this.

 - The change to the postinst looks good, but you may want to make the
   execution of update-mime-database conditional on its presence.

Thanks!

Hmm, also, you probably don't want update-mime-database to be run inside
the "if [ -e /etc/gconf/schemas/drivel.schemas ]; then ... fi" part. The
MIME database should be updated whether the schemas are present or not.

Thanks,

The debian/rules file has been updated, and the postinst now checks for
existence of /usr/bin/update-mime-database (outside of the if mentioned
above :P)

These can be found again at http://www.halon.org.uk/debain/drivel
(note for csmall: could you use this updated package instead please?)

All the best,
Neil
