Subject: bug#49233: gmnisrv: missing mime.types
Date: Sat, 26 Jun 2021 06:02:26 -0800

Hi, I am trying to use the gmnisrv service as described in the Guix
manual, using the default configuration:

 (services
  (append
   (list (service gmnisrv-service-type)
	 (service openssh-service-type)
	 (service network-manager-service-type)
	 (service wpa-supplicant-service-type))
   %base-services))

However, gmnisrv keeps dying with this error:

gmnisrv: src/mime.c:37: mime_init: Assertion `0' failed.
Unable to open MIME database for reading: No such file or directory
Is /etc/mime.types installed?

Is the gmnisrv package or service missing a dependency that is supposed to provide the mime.types file, or am I supposed to copy one from somewhere?
