Fourth, is this distro-specific? My system has
neither update-mime nor /usr/lib/mime,
suggesting that this utility is not universal.
Yes, this is Debian-specific.
Slackware has update-mime-database, which is why I asked for other
apps besides Chromium to test the problem. If this is distro-specific
perhaps we at least could share how to replicate and also resolve the
problem, and which distros are/might be involved.
update-mime-database is a completely different tool, part of upstream
shared-mime-info. (Yes, I know the names are very confusing.)
