Details

Updated shared-mime-info packages that add support for OpenOffice.org 2.0
and OpenDocument types.

Programs and desktops consult a MIME database to determine the correct MIME
type for a file. The shared-mime-info package contains the core database of
common types.

This updated package provides the following bug fix:

* entries for OpenOffice.org 2.0 and OpenDocument documents were not
included in the version of shared-mime-info provided with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4. Consequently, applications such as Evolution and the
file manager were unable to recognize these documents. Descriptions of
OpenOffice.org 2.0 and OpenDocument documents are now included in
shared-mime-info, allowing applications to recognize them.

Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
