I cannot completely agree here.
For me this is (mostly) fixed.

I was testing the patch from comment#64 on 4.12.x already, and have now
upgraded to 4.13 which includes that patch.

For me it works now most of the time (since one month ago), and it was not
working before at all for ten years (except for a few times).

I can confirm I still had the problem 3 or 4 times (in one month), but now the
cache got updated correctly, and I could see the change in the underlying "file
associations" window f.e.

So now even clicking "Cancel" is ok for me.
Before this patch, I had to run "kbuildsycoca4" manually (see comment#59), now
it's not necessary anymore.
So it's definitely an improvement.

The only remaining problem seems to be that the dialog is not getting the
callback that the updating of the cache is finished under certain
circumstances.
I have to say that when I encountered this problem, more than 512MB of swap was
in use or the system was loaded heavy, so it might be related to that.
