Package: file
Version: 4.24-4
Severity: important
What I expected to happen:
That `file --mime-type some.xml` (where some.xml is any file
containing valid XML) should return either text/xml,
application/xml, or something more specific (like
application/atom+xml for example).
What happened instead:
More often than not, just text/plain is returned. Sometimes, like
for /usr/share/mime/text/x-haskell.xml, text/x-pascal is returned,
or for /usr/share/xml/docbook/schema/dtd/catalog.xml, text/html is
reported, both of which are wrong.
I ran:
locate *.xml | xargs file --brief --mime-type |
egrep '(application|text)/xml'
and got no output at all. The `locate` command found about 28000
files.
This bug was originally reported against the file package in Ubuntu:
<https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file/+bug/285031>
The file package in Intrepid is sync'ed directly with Debian, hence
why I'm forwarding this bug report.

blindly forwarding ubuntu bugs to debian is stupid, you always have to
make sure first if they are reproducable with the packages in debian
since ubuntu is almost always lacking behind and shipping unsupported
and outdated packages.
