I receive this error when trying to install PHP on my Nokia n810 device. php5-cli: Depends: mime-support but it is not installable. This is with a fresh flash and I only add the Diable Extras-Devel from repository.maemo.org so I have access to the PHP packages. I have no idea what is going on but I’m creating this post in case anybody else comes across a damn mime-support issue.
