Install the 'shared-mime-info' package to activate the 'xdg-mime-database' profile hook should make it works. To actually fix this package (and some others) we can: - Wrap them with shared-mime-info in XDG_DATA_DIRS or propagated it. - Make sure 'xdg-mime-database' always run if glib applications are there even without shared-mime-info referenced by profile. IIRC, this was suggested by ludo, but I ignored, now patch sent :-)
