[aur-requests] [PRQ#34934] Deletion Request for run-mailcap
m040601 [1] filed a deletion request for run-mailcap [2]: This is a very old PKGBUILD that references a obsolete 2014 Ubuntu version. It should be removed. It only confuses archlinux users looking for mailcap related tools. ```` Conflicts: mime-support ```` There is no PKGBUILD "mime-support" anymore. ```` Upstream URL: http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/mime-support ```` references a 2014, Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) version. And leads to a non existing page, ```` Error two or more packages specified (mime-support utopic) ```` As of 2022 there is no "run-mailcap" package in recent versions of Ubuntu. The only thing related to "mailcap" in Ubuntu is, according to, https://packages.ubuntu.com/ a package called "mailcap", https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jammy/mailcap [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/m040601/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/run-mailcap/
This is still a useful package, as it provides a useful utility to open attachments in Mutt in external applications, based on mime type. I will update it the package, not delete it. On Sun, May 29, 2022 at 7:22 AM <notify@aur.archlinux.org> wrote:

The package has been updated to 3.70. In addition, I updated the package description to clarify that the package provides the run-mailcap script. This should address any "confusion". Please withdraw the deletion request. On Sun, May 29, 2022 at 8:30 AM Erik Johnson <palehose@gmail.com> wrote:
