Re: a lot of Unknown media type in type errors

It's just a warning, and a known issue with "chemical" mime types:

mod note: not an installation issue.  Moved to N.C.

Re: a lot of Unknown media type in type errors

I had the same warnings. I removed the package `chemical-mime-data` as I don't use KDE desktop anymore.

You can run `sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime` to check if the warnings are still there.

For the last warnings with all/all and all/allfiles, they seem to come from kdelibs.

As I didn't use anymore some KDE packages, I removed them and `kdelibs`.
Then the last warnings disappeared.
