Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:5 bgilbert@…]:
 > It turns out that `shared-mime-info` doesn't delete its cache files when
 it is uninstalled (filed as #45396), so removing it is not enough to get
 your system back to a pristine state.  That explains why GIO content
 sniffing is enabled during gdk-pixbuf builds: the builders have had
 `shared-mime-info` installed ''at some point in the past''.

 Good catch!

 > Possible fixes:

 the component that uses the `shared-mime-info` database.

 Can't: shared-mime-info already depends on glib2, so glib2 cannot depend
 on shared-mime-info because circular dependencies are not supported.

 > 2. Add a `shared-mime-info` dependency to `gdk-pixbuf2`, and either
 build-depend on `shared-mime-info` or configure with `--enable-gio-
 sniffing`.

 This sounds reasonable. It would want to be a library dependency though.
 Just listing a build dependency won't get the port installed, in the event
 that a binary from our server is used.
