Description Andras Georgy Bekes 2006-09-20 10:52:18 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Starting of Konqueror (and many other applications) results in an error message: "Could not find mime type ... application/octet-stream".

First of all, this message does not describe the problem sufficiently.

I am trying to guess the error: the application/octet-stream file association does not exist. This is true, it does not exist, but how did it disappear? I know I have modified my file associations and this problem must be somehow the result of that modification, but I did not delete the file association for application/octet-stream.

Recreating the association for "application/octet-stream" (with empty settings, only filling the "Group" and "Type name" fields) solved the problem. I cannot test what happens if I delete the association again, as it cannot be deleted (the "Remove" button is disabled if this file type is selected).

I cannot reproduce the bug as I do not know exactly what has caused it, but willing to help identifying the error if someone gives me hints.

I had the same problem with Mandriva 2008.1 after removing some packages.
Your solution seam to have a good result
