Git commit 0eb4f86e5d6e2860bfc908a0ccf805470aea8675 by Ragnar Thomsen. Committed on 27/04/2016 at 14:23. Pushed by rthomsen into branch 'Applications/16.04'. Update mimetype for Debian packages The mimetype for Debian packages (*.deb) was updated in shared-mime-info 1.4 from application/x-deb to application/vnd.debian.binary-package, resulting in Ark failing to open this archive type. This commit also adds an autotest for this mimetype.
