I'm having trouble registering a new mime type. I had this working in Fedora 26 (and 27 iirc) but it seems to not be working in F28. I'm adding some lines to /usr/share/misc/magic and then recompiling and replacing /usr/share/mime/magic.mgc . In the past this has worked to patch the mime type this way and still works in RHEL/CentOS 7.

Using
file --mime-type -k  exampleFile.ica
I can see my entry as the second item, but even after adding `!:strength +250` it doesn't override the default, which is application\x-wine-extension-ini I even went so far as to remove all lines containing x-wine-extension-ini from the magic file but the assignment persists, which makes me think that either file no longer looks to /usr/share/mime/magic.mgc for the only place for mime types, there's a bug, or something else I haven't considered.

If it finds the compiled /usr/share/mime/magic.mgc file, it will ignore /usr/share/mime/magic. Modifications are supposed to go in the /etc/magic file which could be compiled to /etc/magic.mgc. Those files are checked first.

I copied the lines from /usr/share/mime/magic to /etc/magic and made changes. Those changes overrode the original matches.
