Err, is this some old version of colord you're trying to install?

I'm guessing gvfs-info /path/to/an/icc/profile.icc also displays
text/plain. If this is right, you need to figure out why it's not
working as other stuff in GNOME also rely on GFileInfo working
correctly.

The files you sent me basically match what I have.
