Package: file
Version: 4.24-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

The "file" from Sid thinks that this file:
  http://people.debian.org/~kmccarty/libRuby.so.5.18
is this:

  Linux/i386 core file of '/', dynamically linked, not stripped

when in fact it is actually a normal (unstripped) i386 shared library.

The version of file in Etch (4.17-5etch3) gets it right:

  ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

Please fix -- this mis-detection causes dh_strip to skip over this file
(which is built as part of a Debian package I am sponsoring -- the
maintainer is in X-Debbugs-CC), and also causes Lintian to output a
spurious error on it.
