Created an attachment (id=17837)
add -q option to update-mime-database

Currently  update-mime-database can be very noisy printing a lot of warnings when run. Normally this is not a problem but when run from a rpm scriptlet it shouldn't print anything unless its an error.
The packages can just redirect the output to /dev/null to avoid this but a cleaner solution is a "-q" option that can be passed to update-mime-database.

The attached patch adds it.

Another solution would be to print warnings only when in verbose mode.

(From update of attachment 17837)
There's already a -V for verbose, we should use that instead.

Some messages like "Please run as root" are warnings and they should show up by default.

Also a problem for us in Gentoo.

While I agree that KDE shouldn't be defining these at all, 
they should only show up with some switch.

I'm not sure, but why

mention this bug as a "fix"? It looks like kde.xml does something
unusual and either this should became allowed in specification or
prohibited. But in any case trying to hide the problem does not sound
like a good solution. So I guess the real question here is, what do do
with the following mime:

  <!-- all/ fake mime types -->
  <mime-type type="all/all">
    <comment>all files and folders</comment>
  </mime-type>

Should update-mime-database warn about them or ignore?
