Public bug reported:
Local database for mime types is looked up *after* the system one, so
user cannot override the system database.
* How to reproduce *
I have a user mime entry for .dot files to recognize it as a graphviz
file, since the system mime database list 2 conflicting entries (word
template and graphviz file). mimetype query default <some dot file>
gives:
<some dot file>: application/msword-template
However, XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share:/home/thopre01/.local/share
/usr/bin/mimetype <some dot file> gives:
<some dot file>: text/vnd.graphviz
Note: I don't know if XDG_DATA_DIRS is supposed to have highest priority
last, but File::MimeInfo.pm reverse reverse the list of data dirs before
processing the mime type info and select the first match.
I'm using libfile-mimeinfo-perl version 0.27-1.
Best regards.
