Bug Description
Binary package hint: xdg-utils
The summary is quite clear. In Lucid Lynx, if I issue
xdg-mime query filetype ./myfile.pdf
I have no error but no output (I expected application/pdf). On the other hand,
xdg-open ./myfile.pdf
do work.

I have also experienced this problem under Lucid where:
xdg-mime query filetype /bin/true
does not output any information. I tried:
XDG_UTILS_ DEBUG_LEVEL= 1 xdg-mime query filetype /bin/true
and did get a message
Running gnomevfs-info "/bin/true"
However, gnomevfs-info is not available on my PATH. The package libgnomevfs2-bin contains the /usr/bin/ gnomevfs- info file, but this package was not installed. After installing libgnomevfs2-bin:
xdg-mime query filetype /bin/true
displays
application/ octet-stream
The xdg-utils package lists libgnomevfs2-bin as a suggested package.
