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[tg]=Модули

/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)
Comment 1 Stephan Kulow 2005-08-27 08:31:54 UTC 
it basically means that your ksyscoca is outdated.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
