-t is not used to directly select versions, but affects the apt priorities.
You can read e.g. the man page apt_preferences for the details.

What is the output of:

$ apt-cache policy -t raring shared-mime-info

status incomplete

Otherwise, skip the details and use this syntax to directly select the
version:
$ sudo apt-get download shared-mime-info/raring
