bad application/x-pauker mimetype definition

[Rex Dieter]

Per downstream report,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1251637

/usr/share/mime/packages/openteacher.xml contains this gem:
 <!-- Pauker -->
 <mime-type type="application/x-pauker">
  <comment>Pauker</comment>
  <glob pattern="*.xml.gz"/>
  <icon>application/x-pauker</icon>
 </mime-type>

This defines all *.xml.gz files as Pauker files. This needs to go away! (It's fine to match *.pau and *.pau.gz, i.e., the other 2 blocks for Pauker, but most definitely not *.xml.gz.)

Thanks for your bug report. Development of OpenTeacher has stalled, with no release in sight, but I did give the bug a high priority so someone can look at it if development ever starts again.

While the patch is nice, that file is autogenerated by OT's build process if I'm not mistaken, so that would be the place to fix this (although a manual patch to the tarball of the hypothetical next release is of course still better than nothing.)
