"/usr/bin/update-mime-database /usr/share/mime" is a more simple workaround.

The underlying problem is the "planner" package, version 0.12-1, which
includes several files it shouldn't, in particular
	/usr/share/mime/globs
	/usr/share/mime/magic
	/usr/share/mime/XMLnamespaces
	/usr/share/mime/application/x-planner.xml

Planner should only install /usr/share/mime/packages/planner.xml and have
update-mime-database register the information in there in its postinst,
along the lines of
	if [ -x /usr/bin/update-mime-database ] ; then
		/usr/bin/update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
	fi

See the documentation in the "shared-mime-info" package for details.
