I confirm that I got your point even if I do not agree.

Somehow I missed an announcement that mime is obsolete and not supported
in Debian any more. Did I missed something (URLs)? I insist in my
opinion that it is not correct to break an old but used (=established)
system intentionally to force others writing workarounds. (Cyril, it is
not about this specific bug - it is about the general principle.)

OK, that's fair.

Well, from my perspective I was bored the first time when xpdf came up
when I was expecting evince. After purging xpdf I learned that see does
not find any pdf viewer. Sorry if I did not realised any discussion
seven monthes ago noch any one-line helpers.
So were can I read about which one-liner should be added to what package
to fix the problem you decided to force upon others.
Kind regards
Andreas.
