We get this when running desktop-file-validate: /usr/share/applications/gnumeric.desktop: warning: value "application/x-gnumeric;application/vnd.ms-excel;application/excel;application/msexcel;application/x-excel;application/x-ms-excel;application/x-msexcel;application/x-xls;application/xls;application/x-dos_ms_excel;zz-application/zz-winassoc-xls;application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet;application/tab-separated-values;text/csv;text/x-csv;text/spreadsheet;text/tab-separated-values;application/vnd.lotus-1-2-3;application/x-123;application/vnd.sun.xml.calc;application/vnd.sun.xml.calc.template;application/x-applix-spreadsheet;application/x-mps;application/x-oleo;application/x-planperfect;application/x-quattropro;application/x-sc;application/x-sylk;application/x-dbase;application/x-dbf;application/x-xbase;" for key "MimeType" in group "Desktop Entry" contains value "zz-application/zz-winassoc-xls" which is a MIME type that should probably not be used: "zz-application/zz-winassoc-xls" should be replaced with "application/vnd.ms-excel" But gnumeric upstream thinks that desktop-file-utils should be fixed instead to allow them: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619303#c14

But, per the next comments, looks like they want to keep it more time :|, not sure how to unblock the situation :(

Sorry for the noise, reassigning to new maintainer.
Bug 41286 contains more background for this bug.
The Gnumeric team decided the shared-mime-info alias has been around for long enough that they could remove the legacy Media Type from their desktop file. Problem solved, thanks to the work Vincent, Hans de G. & co put in previously.
