Details

the shared-mime-info package is just a bunch of xml files (and a pkg-config script + man page). yet for some reason it depends on glib2 and libxml2 - I can understand libxml2, but it's still not a "dependancy" of this package...

pushing this to the limit, the only dependancies I can see for shared-mime-info are pkg-config and man...

[jan@server download]$ ldd /usr/bin/update-mime-database
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0xa7ec6000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0xa7eb4000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xa7ea3000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xa7e7f000)
libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0xa7dfc000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xa7cdd000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xa7cd9000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xa7fe6000)

says enough to me, without them update-mime-database won't run and we need to reference libxml2 and glib2 in every package as dependency that wants to run this command in postinstall.
