Re: Evince 2.22.2_3: "Unhandled MIME type: “application/pdf”""

[Dan Reinholz]

I've looked through /usr/ports/UPDATING but can't find
an entry that is relevant to the situation (the
closest thing was updating the mime-database). 

First things first I did a 

portupgrade -f shared-mime-info

Then I ran

update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/

as well as

update-mime-database /usr/local/share/mime

but I still have the same error.
