Description dolfandringa@gmail.com 2025-06-04 12:01:46 UTC 
When updating some packages on fedora 41, update-alternatives runs which throws the following error:

```
>>> Scriptlet output:
>>> update-alternatives is /sbin/update-alternatives
>>> /usr/share/mime/packages/qgis.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found
>>> ==================================================
>>> ^
>>> Failed to parse '/usr/share/mime/packages/qgis.xml'
```

Inspecting the file, it seems the file is a plain text file (some Readme or something) instead of the expected xml mime-type data. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo dnf install qgis
2. head -n 10 /usr/share/mime/packages/qgis.xml
Actual Results:
==================================================
QGIS server
==================================================

QGIS server allows you to publish your QGIS projects as Web Map
Services (WMS). Simply layout your map in QGIS. The WMS will look
exactly the same, because QGIS server uses the same libraries for
rendering, as the desktop application does.

A sample configuration file for Httpd is installed under

Expected Results:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'>

  <mime-type type="application/x-qgis-project">
    <comment>QGIS Project</comment>
    <comment xml:lang="de">QGIS-Projekt</comment>
    <sub-class-of type="application/xml"/>
    <alias type="application/x-qgis"/>
    <icon name="qgis-qgs"/>
    <magic priority="50">

Additional Information:
I double checked by downloading the rpm files and check their contents and those all seem to contain the same issue.

This seems to be the case at least in:

* [Fedora 42 3.42.3](https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2715791)
* [Fedora 41 3.40.7](https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2715856)

Checking the [source rpm build scripts from QGIS itself](https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/499873d76966e4e869dcfa3d8d8f519fe09b794b/rpm/qgis.spec.template#L257), the build script does contain a valid file for it. The fedora build script just deviates from it.

Comment 2 dolfandringa@gmail.com 2025-06-04 12:30:52 UTC 
It looks like the [testing version](https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2721248) actually fixed it. 
Running `sudo dnf update --enablerepo=updates-testing qgis` seems to install the correct file there. So I guess its just a matter of time before its fixed.
