[Andy Spiegl]

Sorry, my mistake. I forgot that I manually installed mutt v2.0 to /usr/local.
Oops

Title:
  /etc/mime.types is ignored

Status in mutt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Today I noticed that pdf attachments aren't declared as application/pdf anymore but application/octet-stream.
  I found that /etc/mime.types seems to be ignored and
  it only works again if I add "application/pdf   pdf" to my $HOME/.mime.types.

  However the fine mutt manual says:
   When you add an attachment to your mail message, Mutt searches your personal
   mime.types file at $HOME/.mime.types, and then the system mime.types file at
   /usr/local/share/mutt/mime.types or /etc/mime.types

  Actually strace shows only this:
   openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/andy/.mime.types", O_RDONLY) = 3
   openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/local/etc/mime.types", O_RDONLY) = 3
   openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/local/share/mutt/mime.types", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

  Any idea what might have happened recently?

  Thanks,
   Andy

  PS: "SYSCONFDIR" is looking strange - So I assume this is an ubuntu
  specific bug

  $ mutt -v
  Mutt 2.0.0 (2020-11-07)
