[SOLVED] PKGBUILD update mime database

Hi all,

I write my first PKGBUILD for virt-viewer. makepkg works greate, but when I want to install my new package, it failed with

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
virt-viewer: /usr/share/mime/XMLnamespaces exists in filesystem
virt-viewer: /usr/share/mime/aliases exists in filesystem
virt-viewer: /usr/share/mime/generic-icons exists in filesystem
virt-viewer: /usr/share/mime/globs exists in filesystem
virt-viewer: /usr/share/mime/globs2 exists in filesystem
virt-viewer: /usr/share/mime/icons exists in filesystem
virt-viewer: /usr/share/mime/magic exists in filesystem
virt-viewer: /usr/share/mime/mime.cache exists in filesystem
virt-viewer: /usr/share/mime/subclasses exists in filesystem
virt-viewer: /usr/share/mime/treemagic exists in filesystem
virt-viewer: /usr/share/mime/types exists in filesystem
virt-viewer: /usr/share/mime/version exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgrade

How can I successful update the mime DB with informations provided in sources (virt-viewer-mime.xml) ?

Thanks a lot

Re: [SOLVED] PKGBUILD update mime database

You should run update-mime-database in the .install file, not in the PKGBUILD, e.g.

post_install() {
  xdg-icon-resource forceupdate --theme hicolor &>/dev/null
  update-mime-database usr/share/mime &>/dev/null
  update-desktop-database -q
}

post_upgrade() {
  post_install "$1"
}

post_remove() {
  post_install "$1"
}
