Binary package hint: xdg-utils
Ubuntu 8.10
xdg-utils 1.0.2-6
On my system, using xdg-open to access any directory from within the environment (regardless of privileges) prepared by sudo results in the following output:
> Warning: unknown mime-type for "<directory>" -- using "application/octet-stream"
> Error: no "view" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"
A similar response is returned for text files without extensions. .diff and .txt are opened in less; .sh only triggers an error:
> Error: no "view" mailcap rules found for type "application/x-sh"
Another user reported this output a few months ago at Bug #323710, and I suspect that a similar factor persists on his system as is produced by sudo on mine. I don't yet have a clue how sudo modifies my environment to trigger this bug.
Thanks!

The strange application choices for known file types are also significant, but I'm not sure whether they are part of this bug.
