Issue discovered when testing #251474, `xdg-mime` can't find the mimeinfo DB:
❯ nix-shell --pure -I nixpkgs=. -p xdg-utils
$ xdg-mime query filetype /dev/stdin < some/picture.png
WARNING: You don't seem to have a mime-info database. The shared-mime-info package is available from http://freedesktop.org/ at /nix/store/jvkvicdw2hwl40gl52kakz4yi59lwpkh-perl5.38.2-File-MimeInfo-0.33/bin/mimetype line 175.
No mimeinfo database found
I am deeply saddened at the fact that I need to do this. I have no
interest in re-litigating everything that has happened over the past
weeks and months, but I want to make my position(s) extremely clear:
The thought of any of my work contributing to someone's death by drone
makes me feel physically ill.
Recent communications from senior members of the NixOS community have
made it clear that leadership is unaware or uninterested in the basics
of how to run and moderate a community in a way that is resilient to bad
actors. The recent post by @edolstra is tone-deaf and gives me no
confidence that the Nix/NixOS community is a place that I want to remain
involved in going forward. I am thus choosing to remove myself from such
a community.
I also hereby resign from the ACME team.

I'm not going anywhere, I'm focusing my energy on other issues, and
getting pinged as a maintainer for packages is a bit distracting (also
I'm not using most of these packages anyways!)
A recent update to xdg-utils added xdg-user-dirs as a dep.
Since then we've had a few reports of people running macOS
with xdg-utils in their system for one reason or another
getting a failure on xdg-user-dirs.
I'm not sure it makes high-level sense to use it on macOS,
but it was easy to get it to build...
