            Bug ID: 105816
           Summary: Wrong gzip mimetype
           Product: Portland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
          Assignee: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: joshua.kraemer at gmail.com

"xdg-mime query filetype <filename>.tar.gz" returns: "application/x-gzip".

According to RFC 6713 [1], the correct mimetype would be: "application/gzip".

For example, the Ark (package manager) desktop file only includes the mimetype
"application/gzip". Because of the wrong mimetype reported by xdg-mime, .tar.gz
files are not opened with Ark as expected.
