/etc/mailcap file modified by gnumeric is wrong

Thanks for your bug.

Can you post the line 86 of /etc/mailcap file ?

HI,

Im sorry, but I solved problem removing this line.
The problem is 86 line is malformed.
in mailcap each line is one rule and line 86 is divided in two lines.
then I removed line 86 and 87.

Really sorry, my bad english,, but I dont know how to explain this :(

Regards,
Jose Carlos

I had this too, twice. I edited the line on mine:

application/x-sc; gnumeric '%s'; edit=gnumeric '%s'; description="SC/XSpread spr
eadsheet"; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.sc

It was like this with the semicolon missing and the remainder of the line dropped to the next line:

application/x-sc
gnumeric '%s'; edit=gnumeric '%s'; description="SC/XSpread spr
eadsheet"; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.sc

Confirmed. Line 86-87 of /etc/mailcap reads as

application/x-sc
gnumeric '%s'; edit=gnumeric '%s'; description="SC/XSpread spreadsheet"; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.sc

i.e., there is a newline after the x-sc that should not be there. Removing the newline fixes the problem.

This bug originates in the file /usr/lib/mime/packages/gnumeric lines 22-23 (should be a single line, remove newline at end of line 22). From package gnumeric.

Please patch accordingly.

found this bug too in ubuntu efty, when using audacity (god knows what it's messing with /reading that file)

It wants to add its own mimetype to this file?

For me it was line 97, but the same place to be sure. It started giving me warning messages after I installed FileZilla3.

Filezilla 3.2.2.1 on Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 I386 32 bit start and issue a mailcap warning .
Then seems to works . Every time I run it there is same warnig :

18:07:39: Mailcap file /home/lodewig/.mailcap, line 1: incomplete entry ignored.
18:07:39: Mailcap file /etc/mailcap, line 1: incomplete entry ignored.

Melanie - this seems like a separate issue than this bug report, which was caused by gnumeric and which is fixed in Ubuntu for quite some time. I believe filezilla has incorrectly modified your mailcap file and that is what is causing this, subsequently a bug report should be filed about filezilla. You can easily do this using the command 'ubuntu-bug filezilla' on your Ubuntu system. Please also add your mailcap file to the new bug report. Thanks in advance.
