[Bug 455344] Re: pcmanfm File association support does not work

[Julien Lavergne]

Attached debdiff for SRU.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: pcmanfm
  
  I have karmic koala running on two different machines. On both the
  support for "default applications" does not work. It does'nt matter
  which file i double click. Everytime it asks me with which application
  the file should be opened with.  The dialog does not shows any
  application under "prefered application". And i'm not able to set the
  file association permanently.
  
  If i double click a mp3 file for example, the "open with" dialog pops
  up, i type "lxmusic"  in, lxmusic starts but does not show the mp3 file
  in the playlist nor starts to play.
  
- 
  Files like .cvs  (text files) will be opened with leafpad automatically.

+ Extra explanation for SRU :
+ Impact : all mime associations are lost, so you can't double-click on a icon to open something with the good program. This is quite critical for a file-manager.
+ Cause : No support for mime-cache 1.2 in pcmanfm.
+ Fix : the bug was fixed upstream, by supporting the new API, even if it's a fake supporting because current branch of pcmanfm is in bug-fix-only mode.
+ Possible regression : Probably not, since the patch touch only mime-cache support, and this is now completely broken in Karmic. elrond and I have tested the fixed package without any regressions.
