According to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#mimeinfo packages should not depend on shared-mime-info, but instead only update its database if it happens to be installed. I would expect shared-mime-info to be pulled in by either specifying it in comps.xml or as a dependency to gvfs (on GNOME) or its KDE equivalent, but instead it is required by gnome-vfs2 (which should not pull it in anymore, now that we have gvfs) as well as PackageKit, several NetworkManager subpackages, and several other applications. Should we consider these packaging bugs? I'd file the bugs and fix them, but first we probably need to decide on what is the right way to pull in shared-mime-info on a normal installation, and ensuring that a fix does not break upgrades.
