gvfs-info has been deprecated:



#!/bin/sh

replacement="gio info"
help="gio help info"

>&2 echo "This tool has been deprecated, use '$replacement' instead."
>&2 echo "See '$help' for more info."
>&2 echo

if [ "$1" == "--help" ] || [ "$1" == "-h" ]; then
  exec $help "$@:2"
else
  exec $replacement "$@"
fi



xdg-mime calls it like this:

    if gvfs-info --help 2>/dev/null 1>&2; then

Unfortunately there is a bashism in the script above which breaks --help
("==" should be replaced by "=").

There are two issues to fix here: we need to fix the bashism in gvfs and
we should update xdg-utils to use gio directly.

Can you confirm that replacing "==" with "=" in /usr/bin/gvfs-info fixes
xdg-mime?
