Bug Description

Binary package hint: pcmanfm

In PCManfm, all files excluding folders and executable files are marked with the file type:

unknown (application/octet-stream)

This true, at least, with .tar.gz, .deb, .doc, .odt, .xls, .ods, .txt, .rpm, .pdf, .ics, .cwk, .ogg, and .mp3. I haven't actually tested other file types, but I'm assuming the bug is true for them as well.

pcmanfm:
  Installed: 0.4.3-1
  Candidate: 0.4.3-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.4.3-1 0

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10

In other file managers, such as XFE, all mime types are displayed properly.

I've upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 Beta and I have the same problem with PCManfm version 0.5.1+svn20090607-1 (installed from Ubuntu repository). Before upgrading Ubuntu, PCManfm works well (version 0.5-3 of Ubuntu repository). In Thunar file manager mime types are displayed properly.

Linux kernel is 2.6.31-13-generic i686.

I'm getting the same issue in Karmic Beta: PCMan FM 0.5.1+svn20090607-1 displays any file as: executable (application/x-executable). I can confirm that Mime-Types works as expected on any other file managers (tested: thunar, nautilus, dolphin).

I've also tried PCManfm 0.5-3 (got from http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/pcmanfm) in Karmic but the problem remains.
