/etc/mime.types is used only by CUPS (printing subsystem on Linux). Evo, Nautilus, etc, use pretty much what is under /usr/share/mime -- the cache file there is created/updated by the package install (shared-mime- info), or by specific updates.
One option is somehow an update failed. You can try to pinpoint it by looking at the /var/log/apt/* and /var/log/dpkg* log files. Looking on mine I can see an update on shared-mime-info done on Feb 18, for example. mchra is going to commit the patch after the current freeze, so Evo will survive if an unknown mime type is used. With this patch, what would happen is you will get a mime type of "unknown/whatever" (huh, not real names), but would still succeed on the attach. I think. -- Evolution 2.21.92 (hardy) crashes when attaching MS-Office files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195788 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
