I had the same problems after a recent upgrade from Dapper 6.06LTS to
Edgy 6.10. It particularly affected HTML and XML files which I noticed
first in yelp - it opened these files in gedit. I also had similar
problems with icons like bug 41772. With .tar.gz archives I also got the
message "No application suitable for automatic installation is available
for handling this kind of file".
The steps below fixed all these problems for me:-
It did not seem to be necessary to move or rename
~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache as reported by jefight for
7.04. I did actually do that first, but when I restored it again after
step 3 below, the problems remain fixed.
1. sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure shared-mime-info
3. $ killall gnome-panel
$ killall nautilus
