# Since 0.51-2, we support dpkg triggers, so if this script
# was run from a maintainer script (postinst/postrm) and dpkg
# supports triggers, ignore it as dpkg will call the trigger
#
# Once all the maintainer scripts in the archive have stopped
# calling update-mime-database directly, we can remove this
# wrapper.
#
# See /usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev/triggers.txt.gz
