I'll go ahead and open a ticket in the upstream. I've been recently working on adding new magic entries. -- David Griffith d...@661.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Bug#649858: file(1) incorrectly identifies Z-machine binaries
Package: file Version: 5.04-5 Severity: normal Just now I noticed that the file(1) command in Debian Squeeze works inconsistently on Z-machine binaries. It seems to identify V4 and V8 files correctly, but chokes on other versions. Most V5 files are reported as Hitachi SH big-endian COFF objects and executables. Some V5s are reported simply as data. A V3 version of Hitchiker's Guide is reported as a DBase 3 data file. Reliable entries for Z-machine binaries have been in the upstream since at least as far back as late 2002, which is when I submitted them to Christos Zoulas. What's going on here? -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages file depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-10Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libmagic1 5.04-5 File type determination library us ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime file recommends no packages. file suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
