i had erroneously deleted a mimetype markdown_to_html . it has never been used in the site. i now face a failed migration due to the same. any suggestions on how to resolve.

Ran upgrade step: Miscellaneous
Upgrade aborted. Error:

Hello @ sudhan77,
Didn't you make a recent backup of the site before the accidental deletion?
If so, wouldn't it be easier to start from this backup?
Maybe I didn't quite understand the context?

yes, thankyou. i actually realised it later. and restored the backup.

Another way to reset a mimetypes registry is to create a second parallel vanilla plone site, then in ZMI delete the registry in your original site, copy the registry from the vanilla site and insert it in the original site.

thanks. i started afresh from a backup restore. resolved the upgrade and migration from 5.0.5 to 5.2.4. Of course for the easier site. the difficult ones will deal another day. too challenging for non-developers. I have understood the issues involved.

Indeed, it can get complex with this domain of problems. If in trouble, do not hesitate to ask in this forum!
