Ok, this is what I see:
[bobg@box9 ~]$ cat
.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[Default Applications]
text/html=vlc.desktop <<<< delete this
video/quicktime=vlc.desktop
[Added Associations] <<<< delete this
text/html=vlc.desktop; <<<< delete this
You can delete those lines I pointed.
But in the other computer [box7] there is
no
.local/share/applications/ and
xdg-mime does not work. It will not
run as root either.
[bobg@box7 ~]$ ll

No applications directory.

Both computer should be set up the same
but obviously they are not.
Any idea what I have to do there?

xdg-mime isn't supposed to be run as root, IIRC.
Try manually creating the applications directory and an empty mimeapps.list
