mime type errors

[Eli Wapniarski]

Hi all

All of a sudden I'm seeing a lot of these when doing updates. Any idea why? 
And should I get rid of them?

Thanks Eli

Historically, I have had all of those, too. And it is not a recent development. 
They have been around for a long time. I no longer instlal kmplayer, so that 
has reduced the errors to half.

These have been there for a while, it's desktop-file-utils having become 
asininely anal about MIME types, breaking existing usage.
