2017-08-10 00:56 UTC, Jeremy Bicha 		committed Details | Review

Description Jeremy Bicha 2017-08-10 00:56:46 UTC 
nautilus 3.25.90
self-built on Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha

$ sudo update-desktop-database 
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop": " application/x-7z-compressed" is an invalid MIME type (" application" is an unregistered media type)
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop": " application/x-7z-compressed-tar" is an invalid MIME type (" application" is an unregistered media type)

etc.

Removing the spaces from the MimeType lines fixes this. Patch attached.

Hey,

Although I really don't mind having them or not, it didn't fail for neither of us (me and Ernestas), and we regenerate them in every build (see https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/tree/build-aux/meson/postinstall.py), do you have a clue what could be the reason?
Comment 3 Jeremy Bicha 2017-08-10 07:36:43 UTC 
Try running update-desktop-database without the -q option (quiet)

Figured it out, that script is not run under JHBuild, and it indeed raises errors otherwise.

or you can run  desktop-file-validate
