Change or bug in file-command evtl. messed-up fai-do-scripts execution
Hi, Apparently, something went amiss with the linux file command since it was last updated in apt... (last week or so) At least, my perl configure-scripts are not recognized anymore as perl-scripts, but as awk-scripts. On a machine which was last updated 10.3.2014, the script was recognized correctly root@phkup46:/var/lib/fai/config/scripts/NFS_CLIENT# file -bL 10-create-directories a /usr/bin/perl -w script text executable But on a machine updated last week, it gives: root@kupmenai:/var/lib/fai/config/scripts/NFS_CLIENT# file -bL 10-create-directories *awk* script, ASCII text which is wrong. I didnt change the file inbetween and the file correctly starts with #!/usr/bin/perl -w in the header In the following, my perl configure scripts are not executed anymore by fai-do-scripts and I got errors like: file NFS_CLIENT/10-create-directories has unsupported type awk script, ASCII text. - Does anyone also have this problem? - Does anyone have a solution? (I will also try to find one by myself) Regards René Bleisch
Re: Change or bug in file-command evtl. messed-up fai-do-scripts execution
Hello, (1) I can not reproduce this. What is your exact version of file according to dpkg? Mine is 5.11-2+deb7u2 (my Debian is wheezy). $ cat test #!/usr/bin/perl -w print Hello World\n; $ file test test: Perl script, ASCII text executable (2) Could it be something specific in your script? Try deleting parts of the script (in a copy, of course) and see if file starts detecting correctly after some specific part of the script is gone. If you can show what exactly causes it, you may file a bug against file in Debian BTS.

Hi Toomas,
Both PCs are wheezy (Linux ... 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2
x86_64 GNU/Linux)
file-versions:
works correctly: 5.11-2+deb7u*1*
doesn't work: 5.11-2+deb7u*2*
Most likely the problem is due to the BEGIN { ...} block which is in
the opening of the respective perl-scripts.
( see
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlmod.html#BEGIN%2c-UNITCHECK%2c-CHECK%2c-INIT-and-END
for explanation)
--
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
*BEGIN {**
** if ( !$ENV{'PERL_MODULES'} ) {**
** $ENV{'PERL_MODULES'}= '/srv/fai/config/perl_modules';**
** }**
** unshift @INC, $ENV{'PERL_MODULES'};**
**}*
use FAI;
use NFS::Clients;

When I removed the BEGIN { ...} block, file recognizes the script
correctly.
I'll try to replace this block and I will make a bug report.
Regards
René

I can confirm this. Looks like the problem is
/usr/share/file/magic.mgc in package libmagic1 (5.11-2+deb7u2).
If you install the new packages, but keep an old version of
magic.mgc, it's recognized as perl.
With wheezy-backports libmagic1 (1:5.14-2~bpo70+1) it's also ok.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion, this temporary fix also works for me!
