Replying to [comment:11 bonefish]:
> Checking with "package list -a" shows that the directory the system
package has the relevant attributes. I haven't tried removing the other
packages yet. Please note that due to the missing node monitoring FS
changes in the MIME DB won't take effect live.
Problem found, and it confirms your theory: The system package containing
the secondary architecture libs also contains
`/system/data/mime_db/application` and a few subordinate entries. However,
its copy of `application` has only the `BEOS:TYPE` attribute and nothing
more. Since that one gets built after the base system package, its copy
winds up winning, as does the one in Web+'s case, which exhibits the same
problem.
Of the proposed solutions, while 1) is appealing from the standpoint of
simplicity, I suspect that will simply defer the issue to a similar clash
elsewhere down the road. As such, I'd personally lean towards 2), and of
the proposed solutions there, I think I would probably go with the special
tagging, as quantity of attributes seems a bit more of a special case to
this particular instance, and couldn't necesssarily be counted on
generically.
Proposal a) would certainly be another possibility, though I suspect that
one would be more complex from an implementation standpoint, and possibly
more costly on the performance side. Thoughts?
