Description Ed Schouten 2005-07-16 13:00:32 UTC 
The misc/mime-support package does not install the run-mailcap script. run-mailcap is a script which start the appropriate viewer according to its mimetype. For example:

run-mailcap foo.jpg

would launch the Gimp (if setup in your mailcap).

Some applications (especially those created in the Linux world, Ion3 for example) depend on Debian's run-mailcap script for launching other applications

Fix: 

Apply the following patch to the misc/mime-support Makefile:

How-To-Repeat: Type `run-mailcap` in your shell. An error like 'run-mailcap: not found' will appear.
