I've discussed this situation on #-devel on 2011-12-03 (tumbleweed was present). We couldn't decide anything useful though (apart from lindi not being able to reproduce the problem, see his mail at #611938). There were at that time at least #611938, #398999, #538093, since then there may be some new bugs opened and the same can be applied to any other package providing this MimeType, such as easytag or gwenview (nowadays you probably can use codesearch.d.n to find all such packages).
I guess I should just close this bug as MimeType: inode/directory should be present for apps acting as directory viewers and if that causes problems with DEs/file managers people should open bugs for them. Though all other similar bugs should be closed in the same manner too. > >> Lintian show one tag, which is easy fixable as well: > >> I: qgit: desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry > >> usr/share/applications/qgit.desktop > > > > I don't think the maintainer should, or even can, add Keywords to upstream > > .desktop files (as opposed to Categories). > > Upstream does not provide the the .desktop file.

I don't care about bugs in Ubuntu much more than about bugs in RedHat. I also don't view myself as a maintainer of any packages in Ubuntu and never thought about doing corresponding work. -- WBR, wRAR
