just a guess here but..

that tells me you've installed (or at least downloaded) all of those packages before; the /etc/mime.types file could be leftover from the previous install?
if it were me, i'd try
sudo mv /etc/mime.types /etc/mime.types.backup
then try and install again
if that breaks anything you can just
sudo mv /etc/mime.types.backup /etc/mime.types
to put it back
edit: the above is probably useless; i just googled what this /etc/mime.types file is used for... i think something else is going on with your system; i wouldn't recommend removing it
sorry
