# rpm -q shared-mime-info-1.6-2.ppc --scripts
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/opt/freeware/bin/update-mime-database /opt/freeware/share/mime > /dev/null
The message is thrown by the above post-install script which updates the MIME database.
If you use X desktop applications which wants to figure out the file types , extensions and icons, then you might need to care about this settings.

Hello Team,
while upgrading our systems with yum or dnf I recognized this message while upgrading "shared-mime-info":
Installing : shared-mime-info-1.6-2.ppc Running scriptlet: shared-mime-info-1.6-2.ppcNote that '/opt/freeware/share' is not in the search pathset by the XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_DATA_DIRSenvironment variables, so applications may notbe able to find it until you set them. Thedirectories currently searched are:- /root/.local/share- /usr/local/share/- /usr/share/
I've already checked in google for it, but could not find a solution.
Where and how exactly should I add the mentioned search path and what is it for?
Many thanks in advance for your support,
Joerg
