MIME type database: Unknown media type in type 'all/all'

I frequently see this message at the end of an update (pacman -Syu).

(7/8) Updating the MIME type database...
Unknown media type in type 'all/all'
Unknown media type in type 'all/allfiles'

Is this a problem? Should I try to resolve it?

Me too. Everything still works, so I ignore it.

You could try (re)moving all the .xml files in /usr/share/mime and then running:

# update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

I suck

Just dropping that here for anyone who also sucks :

mkdir /usr/share/mime
pacman -Qqo /usr/share/mime | sudo pacman -S -
