update-mime-database errors: /usr/share/mime/packages/openoffice.org.xml:749: parser error - when updating Fedora 14 packages

[Richard W.M. Jones]

The errors below happen several times during the yum update.

Assuming that they must be generated by RPM %post scripts, I had a
look at the affected packages (control-center, evolution-data-server,
cheese, seahorse) and I suspect it's a problem with the
update-mime-database command.

Rich.
