Chromium on my machine suddenly began to open PDF files in the GV. I began to wonder why and found that they follow entries in the file /etc/mailcap. It is generated automatically by update-mime using files in /usr/lib/mime. But some files are installed into /opt/trinity/lib/mime.
I think we should fix that instead of /opt/trinity/lib/mime were all installed in /usr/lib/mime. What do you think?
Does update-mime have a global/system configuration file to add alternate mime directories?

I looked in /usr/sbin/update-mime. It allows local customization using /etc/update-mime.conf. The problem is that it is expected to file only - not folder. Potentially, such a collision can occur if the user will have its own configuration.
The second thing is that some files are in /opt/trinity/lib/mime/packages - for example kate-trinity, konqueror-trinity, kdfp-trinity), and some are in /usr/lib/mime/packages - for example kedit-trinity, ktnef-trinity.
The location should therefore be united. And the question is whether will be easier to use system location /usr/lib/mime or juggle the configuration for location in /opt/trinity/lib/mime?
