--- Comment #2 from Dan <justgivemeafkenaccount...@yahoo.co.uk> ---
Hi Raal,

Thanks for your quick reply and your efforts in further testing.

However, I find myself disagreeing with your eventual conclusion. I have looked
at the version of the file command you used, and the deficiency in LibreOffice
has been (partially) worked around by the newer file command. It still shows a
discrepancy between MS and LO DOCX files which is causing interoperability
problems. The newer file command is still unable to determine the type of file
(ie. Word, Excel) as your testing shows.

The new version of the "magic" msooxml file was downloaded from here
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/file/file_5.19.orig.tar.xz and I
have attached it for convenience.

Of particular note is the comment near the top of the file:
#   archive.  The first member file is normally "[Content_Types].xml".
#   but some libreoffice generated files put this later. Perhaps skip
#   the "[Content_Types].xml" test?

While I'm sure we both agree this is a relatively minor issue, it does show a
deficiency in LibreOffice. It leaves me wondering if it would be an easy fix,
but I have no knowledge of the LO codebase.

Either way, I would like the status changed from RESOLVED/WORKSFORME as I
believe the bug is still valid. Whether it's worth fixing isn't for me to say,
but clearly there is a problem.
