RHBA-2014:0555 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated shared-mime-info packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The shared-mime-info packages contain the core database of common types.
Programs and desktops consult the MIME database to determine the correct MIME
type for a file.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Due to optimizations performed by the Anaconda installer, the glib2 packages,

which the shared-mime-info packages depend on, were not yet installed when the
shared-mime-info's post-installation script was run. As a consequence, a
harmless error message was reported. This update adds an explicit dependency on
glib2 for the post-installation script to only run after the glib2 packages have
been installed, and the errors no longer occur in the described situation.
(BZ#974505)

Users of shared-mime-info are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix this bug.
