[opensuse] Gnome 11.0 - mime types messed up (all plain text) -- update-mime-database errors

Guys,

Something has screwed up the mime database in gnome so that now gnome
things
all documents are "plain text document" mime types. I have tried
'update-mime-database /usr/share/mime' and it returned the following errors:

[15:17 alchemy:/usr/share/mime] # update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
Unknown media type in type 'all/all'

Unknown media type in type 'all/allfiles'

Unknown media type in type 'uri/mms'

Unknown media type in type 'uri/mmst'

Unknown media type in type 'uri/mmsu'

Unknown media type in type 'uri/pnm'

Unknown media type in type 'uri/rtspt'

Unknown media type in type 'uri/rtspu'

Unknown media type in type 'fonts/package'

Unknown media type in type 'interface/x-winamp-skin'

I suspect that the above type don't exist and that is causing the whole
mime
database update to fail leaving everything set to 'plain text document'. What do
I do to fix this? Thanks.
