[Python-modules-team] Bug#583497: xdg.Mime.install_mime_info(): TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'exceptions.Exception' and 'str'

[Jakub Wilk]

Package: python-xdg
Version: 0.19-1
Severity: minor

xdg.Mime.install_mime_info() executes update-mime-database. If that call 
failed for some reason, install_mime_info would throw a bogus exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "test.py", line 3, in <module>
     xdg.Mime.install_mime_info('eggs-ham', '/dev/null')
   File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/xdg/Mime.py", line 474, in install_mime_info
     "http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info/") % command
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'exceptions.Exception' and 'str'
