Details

Description:
Since my last system upgrade, performed march 19th, my custom-compiled KDE started to show errors about mime types not found (see below). Recompiling has not fixed it. After more research, I found out that XDG_DATA_DIRS variable was not set by the system to point to /usr/share

Additional info:
* package version(s)
system up-to-date as of march 21/03

* config and/or log files etc.
see the attached error messages reading :
Could not found mime types:
"inode/directory"
"inode/blockdevice"
"inode/chardevice"
"inode/socket"
"inode/fifo"
"application/x-shellscript"
"application/x-executable"
"application/x-desktop"


Steps to reproduce:
1. pacman -Syu
2. reopen your custom-compiled KDE session

Workaround found:
place the attached xdg.sh file in /etc/profile.d/
chmod +x /etc/profile.f/xdg.sh

   no-mime-types.png (31.8 KiB)
   no-mime-types-2.png (23.3 KiB)
   xdg.sh (0 KiB)
