in fact the script doesn't seem to used shared-mime-info

$ XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=1 xdg-mime query filetype index.html
Running mimetype --brief --dereference "/tmp/index.html"
text/html

could you try to use the command with the same environement variable and
share the output?

Title:
  xdg-mime query filetype index.html reports wrong type

Status in shared-mime-info package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  For .html files `xdg-mime` reports wrong type. The culprit is the
  `"use strict"` phrase which is used in JavaScript. It should not
  mistake .html files for anything else except of text/html !

  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  Run the following step by step in any folder:
  1. $ echo "\"use strict\"" > index.html
  2. $ xdg-mime query filetype index.html # -> application/x-perl - this should 
be text/html!

  Platform:
  Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
  Linux version 5.4.0-42-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-038) (gcc version 9.3.0 
(Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu2))

  xdg-utils: 1.1.3-2ubuntu1
