Description

In Tails 3.x, we shipped our own patched desktop-file-utils (0.23-1.0tails1) to produce reproducible mimeinfo.cache files. In 4.x, 0.23-4 from Buster is installed instead, which still produce non-reproducible files. The patch lamby upstreamed was only released in 0.24 (available in Bullseye and Sid).

All Jenkins jobs pass, including reproducibility (a real run, that took more than 1h, not the fake success it would have returned if the ticket had not been in “Needs Validation” state).
