<match> in mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml is matching wrong files

[Dan Gut]

/usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml
line 10466 -> value="import Qt" offset="0:3000"
context:
    <magic priority="80">
      <match type="string" value="/bin/env qml" offset="2:16"/>
      <match type="string" value="import Qt" offset="0:3000">
 <match type="string" value="{" offset="9:3009"/>
      </match>
      <match type="string" value="import Qml" offset="0:3000">
 <match type="string" value="{" offset="9:3009"/>
      </match>
    </magic>

is matching python files using Pyside
with imports like:

from PySide2.QtCore import Qt, QSettings, QSize

considering them 'Qt Markup Language files (text/x-qml)' thus wrecking havoc down the line. Maybe just remove this match entry as it seems very broad

removing

      <match type="string" value="import Qt" offset="0:3000">
 <match type="string" value="{" offset="9:3009"/>
      </match>

and

sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

fixes the issue locally until the next update
