Package: gnome-mime-data
Version: 2.18.0-1
Severity: important

So a while after installing gnome3 packages from Experimental I found out that
the file manager links started opening with wrong applications. file:// for me
started opening with Clamtk antivirus gui. Files link in the menu worked fine
so i supposed it must be Mime type related.

After a while of searching I found this forum post about the same problem.

The site provides solutions to this problem. One of them is to open
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and edit the line with
inode/directory= text
