This version of xdg-utils is needed by BA in order
to associate correctly types of files with PCManFM
file manager.
The release cycle of xdg-utils is very slow, so this
is the best shot of a stable version available for
YP 1.5 release.
As a reference, the previous stable version was released in 2007.
Also, desktop Linux distros use this release candidate as a stable
version, for example, Ubuntu 12.04.
