By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Nick Leverton 2011-11-21 12:56:41 CST 
Console apps, and some non-KDE GUI apps, use /etc/mailcap to decide how to handle particular MIME types.  This file is generated from individual application entries in /usr/lib/mime by update-mime(8).

Trinity, unfortunately, puts its mailcap entries in /opt/trinity/mime so they are not available to update-mime.

I believe that the following files should be moved into /usr/lib/mime/packages in order to fix this bug:

kate-trinity: /opt/trinity/lib/mime/packages/kate-trinity
kghostview-trinity: /opt/trinity/lib/mime/packages/kghostview-trinity
kview-trinity: /opt/trinity/lib/mime/packages/kview-trinity
kpdf-trinity: /opt/trinity/lib/mime/packages/kpdf-trinity
kdvi-trinity: /opt/trinity/lib/mime/packages/kdvi-trinity
konqueror-trinity: /opt/trinity/lib/mime/packages/konqueror-trinity
kfax-trinity: /opt/trinity/lib/mime/packages/kfax-trinity

There may be a few others but I believe I have pretty much every Trinity app installed as of 3.5.13.

However I think /usr/lib/mime should, if possible (I haven't looked into it), be assumed as a standard location for mailcap entries by Trinity configuration system to simplify future application ports.

Workaround until this is resolved:

sudo ln -s /opt/trinity/lib/mime/packages/* /usr/lib/mime/packages/

I believe this is a distro-specific packaging bug as discussed in the developer's mail list:

http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0:201206: Mime files in /opt/trinity/lib/mime (9 Jun 2012 22:26:31)
Comment 3 Michele Calgaro 2018-07-28 03:19:04 CDT 
Handling of mime types has changed with R14, so most likely this bug is no longer valid.
Reopen if you can reproduce it systematically and provide detailed instructions.
