This is mostly due to the kdelibs mimetype detection stuff in 4.4 not considering aliases properly (as application/vnd.ms-xpsdocument is since shared-mime-info 0.80). > Also note the Fedora bug 643833: > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=643833 One of the two parties in IRC chat of comment #5 is me, which also produced the upstream changes. > Applying this patch fixes the problem, but it's not clear to me > whether this is the best long-term approach. kdelibs 4.6 can handle aliases better, but also okular in KDE 4.6 has both the mimetypes, so this problem will be fixed with the KDE 4.6 upload. I don't think it is worth to do a kdegraphics 4.4 upload just for a temporary issue in testing/sid (this does not affect stable, as it has shared-mime-info 0.71) which can eventually be fixed editing a file manually, with no need to recompile anything. -- Pino Toscano
