Reason for closing:  No response
Additional comments about closing:  we need less vague reasons for doing things, dependencies are usually added for reasons. And "I don't want to have shared-mime-info on my system because flashplayer is buggy" is not a good reason.

Why?

So that installing shared-mime-info could be avoidable :)

Geogebra seems to work without it.

So far the only real info you've given is "Geogebra seems to work without it"
