linux package install bug?

[Rajinder Yadav]

hi, the package used to install is

​http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.0/virtualbox-4.0_4.0.0-69151~Ubuntu~maverick_amd64.deb

uname -a Linux Six9 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 02:41:37 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

i am getting the following error of my kubunutu 10.10 x86_64

Processing triggers for shared-mime-info ... Unknown media type in type 'virtual/bluedevil-input'

I already said in the other ticket that this is not a bug of VirtualBox but a bug of the package(s) which install(s) the unknown media types.

i know you already told me, i am logging a bug with the package maintainer, who would that be that created the .dep package for virtualbox?

as it stands right now, virtualbox does not install cleanly on kubuntu 10.10, so how are we going to resolve this?

[Frank Mehnert]

What do you mean by does not install cleanly? The text you pasted are only warnings. Is there any other problem?

[Rajinder Yadav]

i guess my questions is why am i seeing these warnings? you don't get warnings for no reasons

so by clean install i mean to say i'd like to see no warnings

[Frank Mehnert]

Again: This is not a bug of VirtualBox. VirtualBox registers new mime types. After that, update-mime-database is called (a script which is provided by the Linux distribution). This script warns about some mime types but these types were not installed by VirtualBox but by some other package. Execute

sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

and you will see the same messages.
