Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Fixed in some way: we have a standalone pkg that provides the mime-types file. As you didn't tell which one it conflicts with, I don't know what other packages are affected. As for mutt, this one is fixed.

did you try pacman -Qo /etc/mime.types before installing mutt?
