I had the same when I built KDE4 on OSX. What was it, hmm, I can check
on friday.
The problem is that the shared-mime-info package doesn't find the
files installed by KDE. This can be fixed by setting the appropriate
shared-mime-info environment variable and then running some
shared-mime-info tool, I think it was update-mime-database .
