Description of problem: All KDE applications output about a screenful of debug spam on the console during startup. There is a workaround in the upstream bug tracker which should be applied for the benefit of CLI users. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): shared-mime-info-1.3-15.fc21 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start any KDE applications from the command line Actual results: [oliver@localhost ~]$ okular(30378) KMimeTypeRepository::parents: "/usr/share/mime/subclasses" refers to unknown mimetype "application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.binary.macroEnabled.12" okular(30378) KMimeTypeRepository::parents: "/usr/share/mime/subclasses" refers to unknown mimetype "application/vnd.ms-excel.addin.macroEnabled.12" okular(30378) KMimeTypeRepository::parents: "/usr/share/mime/subclasses" refers to unknown mimetype "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow.macroEnabled.12" okular(30378) KMimeTypeRepository::parents: "/usr/share/mime/subclasses" refers to unknown mimetype "application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12" okular(30378) KMimeTypeRepository::parents: "/usr/share/mime/subclasses" refers to unknown mimetype "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12" okular(30378) KMimeTypeRepository::parents: "/usr/share/mime/subclasses" refers to unknown mimetype "application/vnd.ms-word.template.macroEnabled.12" okular(30378) KMimeTypeRepository::parents: "/usr/share/mime/subclasses" refers to unknown mimetype "application/vnd.ms-excel.template.macroEnabled.12" okular(30378) KMimeTypeRepository::parents: "/usr/share/mime/subclasses" refers to unknown mimetype "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.template.macroEnabled.12" okular(30378) KMimeTypeRepository::parents: "/usr/share/mime/subclasses" refers to unknown mimetype "application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12" okular(30378) KMimeTypeRepository::parents: "/usr/share/mime/subclasses" refers to unknown mimetype "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slide.macroEnabled.12" Expected results: No debug output unless there is a fatal error. Additional info: Upstream bug tracker says it's a simple case error: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88004 Could Fedora pressure upstream to patch this, or patch it downstream if necessary? It would fix one of the worst debug spams currently in Fedora. See discussion in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-January/206592.html
Per my upstream comment, options include: * patch freedesktop.org.xml.in to use macroenabled instead (probably not an option, if case is indeed important) * find/fix why the generated subclasses is using lowercase * decide that KMimeTypeRepository:parents' code assumption that cases match is invalid, and fix that instead
adjusting summary
Upstream shared-mime-info bug closed NOTABUG, as mimetypes are (should be!) considered case insensitive. Re-assigning to kdelibs Turned the kWarning into kDebug in recent build: %changelog * Tue Jan 27 2015 Rex Dieter <rdieter> 6:4.14.4-2 - reduce stderr spam about invalid mimetypes (workaround #1184918) But that's not a proper fix, just a bandaid for now.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
