Package: apache2-common Version: 2.0.48-7 Severity: minor Why do we need a separate mime magic file when libmagic1 already installs one. Couldn't mime_magic.conf be changed to point at /usr/share/misc/file/magic.mime?
If you don't want to make libmagic a dependancy then why not split the magic files into a separate package which both apache and libmagic could depend on? hadron:/etc/apache2# ls /etc/apache2/magic /etc/apache2/magic hadron:/etc/apache2# dpkg -S /usr/share/misc/file/magic.mime libmagic1: /usr/share/misc/file/magic.mime -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.3-1-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages apache2-common depends on: ii debconf 1.4.11 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.6.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libapr0 2.0.48-7 The Apache Portable Runtime ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-8 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 1.95.6-6 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libldap2 2.1.23-1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7c-5 SSL shared libraries ii mime-support 3.25-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii net-tools 1.60-9 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii openssl 0.9.7c-5 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a ii ssl-cert 1.0-7 Simple debconf wrapper for openssl ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
