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.
