Bug#446874: mime-type not identified

[vwf]

Package: shared-mime-info
Version: 0.19-2

Beagle fails to index my pdf-files on content. For this the mime-type is 
used. Beagle provides a tool to see how a file is recognised: 
beagle-extract-content

Standard pdf-files (e.g. made using ps2pdf or Scribus) always return no
mime-type. E.g.

$ beagle-extract-content tk_thesis.pdf
Filename: file:///home/f/tk_thesis.pdf
Debug: Loaded 48 filters from /usr/lib/beagle/Filters/Filters.dll
Debug: No filter for file:///home/f/tk_thesis.pdf
(/home/f/tk_thesis.pdf) [application/octet-stream]
No filter for application/octet-stream

According to the beagle website, this is a shared-mime-info bug.

I run Debian Etch, upgraded from Sarge. I reinstalled most mime
packages. Ownerships and permissions look correct.
