I don't think this is a bug. I made xanim depend on mime support b/c I didn't want people to have to setup their mime types speratly. If mime-support wasn't installed or configured when xanim tried to configure than of course dpkg wouldn't let it be configured even if install-mime was installed.

I was getting lots of "/usr/sbin/install-mime: file not found" errors. It seemed to me that it was running xanim's postinst. Maybe this bug should be reassigned to install-mime, because several other packages that I upgraded at the same time complained about the same thing. Actually, I was also getting some errors about "/usr/sbin/install-info: file not found". I was upgrading perl at the time as well. Maybe perl wasn't available at that point? Ok, I don't think this is the fault of xanim. It's perl or install-mime. Since I didn't get a close look at the error messages, I guess we'll have to wait until someone else encounters the problem. -- #!/usr/bin/perl -i\$q='$q',\$p='$p';eval\$q.\$\^I\n"# # jeh22@cornell.edu $q='print"$p$^I\n',$p='#!/usr/bin/perl -i';eval$q.$^I # Joey Hess "How appropriate, you fight like a cow." - - Guybrush Threepwood   Information forwarded to debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org, Shaya Potter <spotter@itd.nrl.navy.mil>:

How were xanim and mime-support upgraded? If by "dpkg -i xanim-version mime-support-version", then you are right and the bug should be closed.
