Description Dennis Schridde 2011-01-27 10:15:46 UTC

For some reason polkitd keeps the mime.cache opened. There seems to be no other application holding that file open, so I assume it is something polkit specific.

Version is sys-auth/polkit-0.99-r1 (on Gentoo)

Output from lsof:
polkitd    2039       root  DEL    REG  254,0          692534 /usr/share/mime/mime.cache

This is completely normal for GIO applications. But it's really unnecessary to know the content type.. so I committed

 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/PolicyKit/commit/?id=78baa4742cf07fb04a9ecab24a068eca0e6ed547

this and, hey presto, that file is no longer mapped.
