[Eug-lug] FIXED! Fedora 6 - Open Office test file weirdness

[Harald Sundt]

This *is* the problem and the solution!

After installing the Java 6 RPM on Fedora Core (jdk-1.6.0-fcs), Nautilus =

prints the following error when you try to open an OpenOffice document:
The filename "Report.sxw" indicates that this file is of type =

"OpenOffice Writer". The contents of the file indicate that the file is =

of type "Java Archive". If you open this file, the file might present a =

security risk to your system.

This is because the file /usr/share/mime/packages/x-java-archive.xml =

that is created by the Java RPM is broken.

To fix it, add a "<" in front of the second "match" tag:

--- x-java-archive.xml.orig     2006-12-24 14:47:05.000000000 +0100
+++ x-java-archive.xml  2006-12-25 11:57:03.000000000 +0100

     <glob pattern=3D"*.jar"/>
     <magic priority=3D"85">
       <match type=3D"string" value=3D"PK\003\004" offset=3D"0">

+       <match type=3D"host16" value=3D"0xcafe" offset=3D"40" />
       </match>
     </magic>
   </mime-type>

Then run the following command:

update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

Log out and log in again to restart Nautilus. I didn't even have to =

reboot for all to be well.
