Greetings, raf! > The current version of file/libmagic on Cygwin is 5.46.
> It crashes when trying to analyse the zipfile > [email protected] (a Firefox addon). > This is without decompressing the zipfile to allow > further analsis. $ file --version; file [email protected] file-5.46 magic file from /usr/share/misc/magic [email protected]: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract, compression method=deflate > It's here for reference (raf.org/tmp/[email protected]). > Strangely, 5.46 on macOS and Debian don't crash with this file. > It's just the 5.46 on Cygwin. Try the usual: 1. Shut down every cygwin process. 2. ps ax to verify. 3. Re-run cygwin setup. 4. Try rebase-trigger full if that didn't help. > I compiled 5.46 on Cygwin myself to see if it's something > wrong just with the Cygwin package of file-devel but that > crashed too. > 5.47 on all three systems doesn't crash, so that's good. > So, if anyone here has anything to do with packaging file-devel > for Cygwin, please update the package to 5.47.
