Description of problem:

Please note: the component is not correct - I did not find the correct
component and as it is related, I just put it in here.

The file /usr/share/applications/gnome-gnumeric.desktop contains an
invalid mime-type:

MimeType=application/x-gnumeric;application/vnd.ms-excel;application/msexcel;application/x-msexcel;application/x-ms-excel;application/vnd.ms-excel;application/x-excel;

-> here is the missing application/ classifier
x-dos_ms_excel;

application/xls;application/x-xls;application/x-applix-spreadsheet;application/vnd.lotus-1-2-3;text/x-comma-separated-values;text/csv;application/csv;application/tab-separated-values;application/x-oleo;application/x-xbase;application/vnd.sun.xml.calc;application/vnd.sun.xml.calc.template;application/x-quattro-pro;application/x-sc;application/x-sylk;application/x-planperfect;application/x-mps;



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Didn't try


Actual Results:  
When performing an update via up2date, debugging information shows
that the update script cannot parse the said .desktop file due to
missing application/ mime-type classifier.

I have the latest and it seems to contain this error. 

[clarkbw@rhbw ~]$ rpm -qv gnumeric
gnumeric-1.2.13-2

However I checked out the CVS version [1] which appears to be fixed. 
We just need to update to the latest upstream.

Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2004-09-30 08:00:52 UTC 
The same bare entry exists in that upstream devel gnumeric.desktop.in
as well so that's not a suitable replacement. I'll remove the
offending odd looking MimeType and respin...
Comment 5 Sarantis Paskalis 2004-09-30 09:46:49 UTC 
The desktop patch (gnumeric-1.2.13-desktop.patch) in the srpm is
wrong.  Please add "application/" before "x-dos_ms_excel" in the patch.

The same mimetype is also present in gnumeric.keys.in, but the desktop
patch removes its use, so...
Comment 6 Caolan McNamara 2004-10-01 12:33:20 UTC 
should be ok with gnumeric 1.2.13 >= -4
