Description Roger Larsson 2005-08-26 23:22:00 UTC 
Updated from a freshly installed 9.3, on a slow computer IBM Thinkpad 390E  
(333MHz)  
  
All the time when having my home directory open I get message boxes flashing  
with the above message. I checked the File associations there is no such  
entry - but where does it come from?  
  
/opt/kde3/share/apps/kmail/plugins/bodypartformatter/application_octetstream.desktop:Comment[sv]=Ett 
insticksprogram för brevtextformatering av application/octet-stream

/opt/kde3/share/apps/kmail/plugins/bodypartformatter/application_octetstream.desktop:Comment[zh_CN]=application/octet-stream 
的格式化插件 
/opt/kde3/share/apps/kmail/plugins/bodypartformatter/application_octetstream.desktop:Type=application/octet-stream 
/opt/kde3/share/apps/amarok/scripts/webcontrol/RequestHandler.py:            
'': 'application/octet-stream', # Default 
/opt/kde3/share/apps/amarok/scripts/webcontrol/RequestHandler.py:            
'': 'application/octet-stream', # Default 
 
And so on - the type exists but not in my installed KDE. 
(I have added an association from .php to kate)

it basically means that your ksyscoca is outdated. Run kbuildsycoca and check 
its output
Comment 2 Roger Larsson 2005-08-27 15:16:06 UTC 
Rebuilding syscoca did not work but got me thinking...  
  
Found ~/.kde/share/mimelnk/application/octet-stream.desktop  
containing   
"[Desktop Entry]  
Hidden=true  
MimeType=application/octet-stream  
Type=MimeType"  
Removed this file - works!  
And this file was created before installation of beta3
