Comment (by mascguy):

 Replying to [comment:24 RJVB]:
 > I count less than 30 ports which call `update-mime-database` so removing
 the few lines isn't that enormous a task.

 True, but I'd rather keep those in place, in case we follow a different
 approach long-term.

 > Rather than making `update-mime-database` a stub, make it touch
 `$prefix/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml` or maybe even
 `/opt/local/share/mime/packages` (cannot test right now if that would also
 trigger the updater).
 > That way the command retains its effect but should no longer be able to
 cause a race condition.

 Yep, agreed... that would be a better option.
