Dear Maintainer,

The postinstall script shared-mime-info causes a segfault on my desktop (64bit macbook air) with jessie/testing.
The crash occurs when the script invokes: /usr/bin/update-mime-database.real /usr/share/mime

Outcome: the shared-mime-info package installs but does NOT get configured (nor anything dependent on it)
Expected: a configured package

I did a gdb backtrace for update-mime-database.real invocation (see below), and it refers to libglib2.
I was installing the package cinnamon and shared-mime-info broke the chain.
If I can help with further instruction, please let me know.

The segmentation fault occurs everytime when calling g_fprintf() in
update-mime-database.c, first on line 3849.
See the gdb output below (on a build with debugging symbols).
Could this be related to libglib2 somehow not being fully configured yet
when first installing shared-mime-info?
I don't understand, but I effectively worked around the problem by
replacing g_fprintf() with standard printf().
