Some things during upgrade I don't understand

During the process of aptitude full-upgrade I recently got the following error-like message on a few occasions:

Code:

Processing triggers for shared-mime-info ...
Unknown media type in type 'all/all'

Unknown media type in type 'all/allfiles'

Unknown media type in type 'uri/mms'

Unknown media type in type 'uri/mmst'

Unknown media type in type 'uri/mmsu'

Unknown media type in type 'uri/pnm'

Unknown media type in type 'uri/rtspt'

Unknown media type in type 'uri/rtspu'

Unknown media type in type 'fonts/package'

Unknown media type in type 'interface/x-winamp-skin'

What do these mean?

I have had that forever, and by forever I mean at least the last couple of years. Seems to happen with having Gnome and kde apps installed. Other than the same messages it hasn't hurt anything. Hm actually now that I think about it something that I have updated in the last couple of weeks made it go away no idea what. Either way its nothing to really worry about.

Thanks Craig for the reply. I also thought it wasn't hurting since I haven't received any SERIOUS error message. And yes, I have Amarok installed on my Gnome set-up.

Let me hope I also update "something", so it makes it go away

. After all, it doesn't feel good even to see an apparently harmless message that says some things are missing.
