No, because unprivileged users may want to run update-mime-database in their own software installation prefix that they have wired up to $XDG_DATA_DIRS. I do this myself. You may point out that ldconfig is in /sbin. That's because the dynamic linker currently does not support caches in custom prefixes, but such support would be a natural enhancement that I would request if it became important to me. > But that's a long thread I don't want to sidetrack this with.
