This will figure out the provides needed:
for i in `grep -h MimeType /usr/share/applications/* | sed "s/^MimeType=//" |
sed "s/;/\n/g" | sort -u`; do echo "mime($i)"; done
Someone just has to turn it into a proper rpm find-provides thing.
Bah, i wrote a /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-provides.d/mimetypes.prov script
(attached) which i believe should work. However, it seems rpm is only
using its internal dependency checker, so this would need some actual
rpm code changes to work.
To much work for me...
