Package: mailcap
Version: 3.70+nmu1.huji
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
The function MagicMimetype always fails because the `command -v file` isn't
executed inside a shell (rather, perl searches for the "command" binary, and
fails to find it).
Attached is a patch that fixes this. Somehow I think that `which` was
simpler... :-)
Regards,
Yair.
