Title:
  apt-get install shared-mime-info crashes with Segmentation fault

Status in “shared-mime-info” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: shared-mime-info

  Installing any package with apt-get currently fails.  The messages
  always report trouble with shared-mime info.  Therefore, I am trying
  to reinstall it.  The post-installation script segfaults.  Here is an
  example run:

  root@genome:~# lsb_release -rd

   nautilus
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  What I expected to happen:  Either that apt-get would simply state that the package was already installed or that it would install it.
  What happened instead:  The post-installation script seg faulted and apt-get failed.
