Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Here is the problem:

# update-desktop-database
Warning in file "/usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop": usage of MIME type "x-directory/gnome-default-handler" is discouraged ("x-directory" is an old media type that should be replaced with a modern equivalent)
Warning in file "/usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop": usage of MIME type "x-directory/normal" is discouraged ("x-directory" is an old media type that should be replaced with a modern equivalent)

It is annoying because it appears during the execution of many postinst scripts during packages installation/upgrade.

Thank you for helping with making Ubuntu and its file manager better by reporting this bug. I can confirm this issue myself.
The bug was already reported upstream -- at <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612694> -- and I'm adding that as a Bug Watch.

let's change desktop-file-utils to not display those warnings in lucid, x-directory is still used in nautilus code and now is not the right timing to try if that's creating new issues to change nautilus

Upstream bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612694

As it's only warnings and nothing is really broken or non-functional (the use is discouraged, but not prohibited) I decide to close as 'upstream bug'.

(Ubuntu for example, as noted in the linked bug, decided to change desktop-file-utils to not bark on this error)
