With an existing XXX.deb (one that you wanted to open), what does (on
the command line)
xdg-mime query filetype XXX.deb
say?
In my case it is
application/vnd.debian.binary-package
After that, what does
xdg-mime query default $(xdg-mime query filetype XXX.deb)
say?
In my case it is
org.kde.discover.desktop
This is a problem of mime type associations, and this is - honestly
spoken - completely broken in Debian at the moment. THere is work going
on but I am not sure how far this has proceeded.
