Details

all mimetypes in rox broken after package upgrade

discovered this:
[root:heaton] : update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
***
* Updating MIME database in /usr/share/mime...
***

Note that '/usr/share' is not in the search path
set by the XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_DATA_DIRS
environment variables, so applications may not
be able to find it until you set them. The
directories currently searched are:

- /root/.local/share
- /opt/kde/share

fixed with symlink /usr/share/mime to /opt/kde/share - script may need altering tho for ideal fix
This task depends upon

i can't confirm that it works flawlessly on my system
try the newest kde packages
have a look at your kde.sh it should look like this:
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde
export PATH=$PATH:$KDEDIR/bin
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$KDEDIR/man
if [ ! -z $XDG_DATA_DIRS ]; then
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$XDG_DATA_DIRS:$KDEDIR/share
else
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$KDEDIR/share
fi
if [ ! -z $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS ]; then
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS:$KDEDIR/etc/xdg
else
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$KDEDIR/etc/xdg
fi
