This bug SHOULD probably be filed against Apache2/PHP though. I guess the biggest issue is that they are using the file on their own, instead of using the magic library to parse it. Please re-assign where needed. I chose to file it against libmagic1 as that introduced this change and it might have an effect on other programs depending on this file. Note that at least 46 packages depend on libmagic1: $ apt-cache rdepends libmagic1 | wc -l 46 Every one of them might have issues with this change. As a quick fix I uncommented the search/400 lines in my local version. (I recall btw that some time ago a similar construct was included but it has been removed since then, I don't know what the resolution for that was though) Greets, Jeroen -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages libmagic1 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime libmagic1 recommends no packages.
