Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of debian-edu-config the autopkgtest of
debian-edu-config fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the
binary packages of debian-edu-config from unstable. It passes when run
with only packages from testing. In tabular form:

                        pass            fail
debian-edu-config      from testing    2.12.21
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. It seems that
with the fix for bug #1010102 you either picked the wrong Depends of
two, or you forgot to update the postinst for the change as update-mime
lives in mailcap.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration to testing [1]. Can
you please investigate the situation and fix it?

AFAICT calling update-mime in d-e-c.postinst is unneeded since the
obsolete debian-edu-mailcap file has been removed, see commit 2aaa1adf:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-edu/debian-edu-config/-/commit/2aaa1adfac0f1ea63520bd884c2c48c674b51e3c
and commit 24f26f25:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-edu/debian-edu-config/-/commit/24f26f2552cdc62e5b580cac4d7e40a6f973c326

The update-mime call should be removed from the postinst script.

The Depends on mime-support had been added in 2004 due to moving the
mailcap file and calling update-mime in d-e-c.postinst, see commit
91550cf1:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-edu/debian-edu-config/-/commit/91550cf1d35774f10cc9989f16038eeabf95e86b

IMO d-e-config neither needs media-types nor mailcap as dependencies,
please check.
