This package breaks "ark" rar support

[Tony]

So i was told here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367535

this mav be a package bug in ubuntu xenial, which i confirmed. There are links to the upstream issue, which is already fixed, and a bugfix that i would gladly wish you backport.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Gavin Sharpe (gavin77)]

This bug seems to be present on Kubuntu 16.10 also.

Attempting to open a rar file gives "No suitable plugin found.
Ark does not seem to support this file type."

Ark 16.04.3

dpkg -s shared-mime-info | grep Version
Version: 1.7-1

I have installed rar, unrar, p7zip-rar. I can extract files from the command-line but not from Ark.

I am affected by this bug as well. It's just an annoyance, but quite an annoying annoyance. Any chance for a fix?

Per the kde bug report, this is a known issue (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93549) that has already been fixed upstream.
