Bug 821740

Would this be the reason my icons stopped showing up system-wide (KDE & Gnome), my panel buttons started opening .desktop files in text editors instead of launching applications, and KOrganizer started generating crashes repeatedly on login?  If so, then yes, very urgent, please fix ASAP!  It leaves the entire system very difficult to use.

Also, we might want to include some keywords here that will help people find this, since the symptoms don't seem to point at synfigstudio at all; I spent a lot of the last day trying to find what the problem might be.

The quick fix, for anyone who might find this and need a working system before the fixed package comes along, is to run (as root) the command:
/usr/bin/update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

At least, that seems to have worked for me, and seems like it should work generally in principle.  You'll have to log out and in before it really fixes things.

Yes, the symptoms you describe are all very likely to be caused by this bug.

I am unable to reproduce this bug with synfigstudio. Could it be an issue related to share-mime?

Perhaps on your system something else regenerated mime.cache after synfigstudio-0.63.05-1.fc16 was installed. If you remove and install it again then you will probably see the problem.

Remove %{_datadir}/mime from %files and add the proper scriptlets to regenerate the files:

Following your suggestion, I got an error from the build using rawhide:

Could you test
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=320311 ?

I cannot push the fix for F17 yet because of the release freeze. After f17 release, I will push the  fixes and please provides karma for faster pushes on stable.

synfigstudio-0.63.05-2.fc16 still contains those MIME-Info database cache files, but they get rebuilt immediately after the package installation, so the problem no longer manifests itself. But those files are then still owned by this package, which is not desirable.

The binary package should only contain xml files on /usr/share/mime/package. I am pushing the fix in a few moment and please add karma.

# rpm -qf /usr/share/mime
shared-mime-info-0.91-5.fc16.x86_64

# rpm -i synfigstudio-0.63.05-3.fc16.x86_64.rpm 

# rpm -qf /usr/share/mime
shared-mime-info-0.91-5.fc16.x86_64
synfigstudio-0.63.05-3.fc16.x86_64

The package owns the common directory, which I believe it should not do. Probably you need to be more specific in %files and specify the file(s) instead of the directory.

Could you test
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4113908 ?

$ rpm -qa | grep synfigstudio
synfigstudio-0.63.05-3.fc16.x86_64

$ rpm -qf /usr/share/mime
shared-mime-info-1.0-4.fc17.x86_64

The common directory isn't owned by the package on my system:

# rpm -qf /usr/share/mime
shared-mime-info-0.91-5.fc16.x86_64

# rpm -qf /usr/share/mime/packages/synfigstudio.xml 
synfigstudio-0.63.05-3.fc16.x86_64

But there is still one file that shouldn't be there:

# rpm -qf /usr/share/mime/application/x-sif.xml 
synfigstudio-0.63.05-3.fc16.x86_64

That one is generated automatically by update-mime-database.

Could you test
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4115356
?

Here is my result

$ rpm -qf /usr/share/mime
shared-mime-info-1.0-4.fc17.x86_64

$ rpm -qf /usr/share/mime/packages/synfigstudio.xml 
synfigstudio-0.63.05-3.fc16.x86_64

$rpm -qf /usr/share/mime/application/x-sif.xml 
file /usr/share/mime/application/x-sif.xml is not owned by any package
