Package: capplets
Version: 1:2.8.1-3
Severity: important

The "file types and programs" icon is missing from the Gnome Control
Center; MIME types cannot be configured. I believe this happened when I
upgraded to Gnome 2.8. 

The URL below casts some light onto what might have happened and
provides a (very obnoxious) work-around:

Hi,

This is due to the new mimesystem in GNOME 2.8, the capplets was
deprecated and has been dropped.=20
I'm closing this bug.


Cheers,
