# `package-contains-mimeinfo.cache-file`

This package contains a file named `mimeinfo.cache`, possibly compressed, in `/usr/share/applications`. This file is generated automatically by update-desktop-database when a package containing `.desktop` files associated to MIME types is installed. Some upstream build systems create it automatically, but it must not be included in a package since it needs to be generated dynamically based on the installed .desktop files on the system.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
