Basically the error messages wipe the whole screen whenever a pacakage installs new mime types. Maybe a solution would be to patch update-mime-database to make it accept chemical as a legitimate type: --- update-mime-database.c.old 2008-01-15 20:25:19.000000000 +0900 +++ update-mime-database.c 2008-01-15 20:25:43.000000000 +0900 @@ -54,6 +54,7 @@ "model", "multipart", "x-epoc", + "chemical", }; /* Represents a MIME type */ However, I do not know if it would have side effects… > Most servers I know send .pdb files as chemical/x-pdb and not text/x-pdb Good to know, I was wondering how widespread the chemical/* types are. > No, here I really recommend to stay with the historic name.

The latter will only create more confusion. OK. Are there plans to re-propose a RFC or to make the proposal evolve ? Because if no new types are created, it will be difficult to argue for the adoption of chemical/* as a standard.
