The problem really isn't in keepass, it's in whatever you have installed that is trying to register those mime types. Like you mentioned, the other install files simply suppress the errors, so you don't see them. Out of curiosity, what does `grep -l 'chemical/x-cache' /usr/share/applications/*` show?

I apologise in advance if this is too much information. ;)

grep -l 'chemical/x-cache' shows no results
grep -l 'chemical/x' shows:
/usr/share/applications/avogadro.desktop
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/applications/avogadro.desktop
/usr/share/applications/avogadro.desktop is owned by avogadro 1.1.1-3

$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
error: No package owns /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

$ pacman -Qi avogadro | grep 'Dep\|Optional\|Required'
Depends On : openbabel python2-pyqt boost-libs glew python2-numpy
Optional Deps : None

According to my pacman log, avogadro was originally installed along with KDE when I first installed my system:

Doesn't seem to be there. How about grepping through /usr/share/mime/packages? Or maybe something in /usr/local?
Comment by Brendan (watricky) - Thursday, 23 October 2014, 11:28 GMT
Found it there - similar data:

$ grep -R 'chemical/x-cache' /usr/share/mime/packages/
/usr/share/mime/packages/chemical-mime-data.xml: MIME-Type: chemical/x-cache
/usr/share/mime/packages/chemical-mime-data.xml: <mime-type type="chemical/x-cache">
$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/mime/packages/chemical-mime-data.xml
/usr/share/mime/packages/chemical-mime-data.xml is owned by chemical-mime-data 0.1.94-7
$ pacman -Qi chemical-mime-data | grep 'Dep\|Optional\|Required\|Reason'
Depends On : xdg-utils gnome-mime-data hicolor-icon-theme
Optional Deps : None
Required By : None
Optional For : None
Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package

pacman log shows it was installed during an -Syu upgrade:

I don't use KDE any more - that is possibly related. Perhaps I don't need the chemical-mime-data package installed any more either.

Regarding suppressing the error, it is starting to sound like it is actually the wrong procedure. Perhaps it would be better to parse the error/warning and to give the user output they can use intuitively to find the cause (rather than have us pester you guys). ;)

[edit] - can haz grammar

Yep, looks like the problem is actually in chemical-mime-data. Doesn't look like you actually need it (I would suggest running pacman -Qdt to see what else you have left over). If you're ambitious, you can try reporting this upstream. From what I gather, the warnings are harmless which is why suppressing them seems to be the normal course of action.
