Well, if a *reinstall* fixes it, that rather suggests things are more 
complicated; it implies there isn't actually a problem in the 
shared-mime-info code, after all.

I'd hazard a guess that there's a bad command in the scripts for some 
other package, and reinstalling shared-mime-info triggers *its* scripts, 
which fix up the error.

It seems shared-mime-info has a %post script which does this:

/usr/bin/update-mime-database /usr/share/mime &> /dev/null

does simply running that (as root) also resolve the problem?
