Slackware has update-mime-database, which is why I asked for other apps

Specific for distribution may be a way of composing /etc/mailcap. But its
meaning is common to all. It affects generally all programs that
uses /etc/mailcap. For testing can be used (ie Debian) commands such as
run-mailcap, see, print, compose,...
The truth is that the file location is apparently a matter of packaging ==
distribution specific. I just now looking into the packages and kpdf-trinity
and kedit-trinity. That differ not only in the location:
/usr/lib/mime × /opt/trinity/lib/mime, but also
/usr/share/menu × /opt/trinity/share/menu,
/usr/share/doc/kedit-trinity × /opt/trinity/share/doc/kpdf-trinity.
Obviously it is a mess. :)

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.
