The story behind this is: when KDE is installed in /usr/local, it
conflicts with shared-mime-info. Since they both install the same MIME
types, just depend on shared-mime-info. Unfortunately, KDE also
defines .doc as plain/text. While i think this is valid, Dima doesn't.
As a short term solution, I agreed he could just remove all the
conflicting MIME types. As a long term solution, instead, I'll write
an automated system to handle MIME types throughout the ports tree
(just as I'm doing with fonts) which will avoid installing MIME types:
it will just install XML packages and then let update-mime-database
create the MIME types on its own.

How does it sound?
