Fixing the mime-key error in Filezilla, complements of Adobe AIR
I really like Adobe AIR as a platform, mainly because I generally like the idea of having a platform that can run the same apps on any of the big three Operating Systems (Windows, Mac, Linux). Unfortunately, after installing the Adobe Air alpha for Linux I was having a problem with an error every time I started up Filezilla. This would popup on every startup:
"Can't open /usr/share/mime-info/air.keys" (error 2: no such file or directory)" "Can't open /usr/share/mime-info/air.mime" (error 2: no such file or directory)"
Obviously, this wasn’t the worst thing that could possibly happen to me… but it was rather aggravating! To solve this problem I went scrounging through the depths of the interblags and finally managed to fix it. Lots of help comes from the Dusty Pixels blog, but I figured I would compile what worked for me here.
