Just found that my scripts that would detect image types by means of the
"file" command do not work anymore in RELEASE-11. :(
Whats happening in R11.1 is this:
$ scanimage > /tmp/SCAN
$ file /tmp/SCAN
/tmp/SCAN: data
While on R10 in looked this way, which appears slightly more useful:
$ scanimage > /tmp/SCAN
$ file /tmp/SCAN
/tmp/SCAN: Netpbm image data, size = 2480 x 3507, rawbits, greymap
Further investigation shows, the problem may have appeared with this update:
>r309847 | delphij | 2016-12-11 08:33:02 +0100 (Sun, 11 Dec 2016) | 2 lines
>
>MFC r308420: MFV r308392: file 5.29.
And that is a contrib, it seems the original comes from fishy penguins.
So no proper repo, and doubtful if anybody might be in charge,
but instead some colorful pictures like this one:

Looking closer - this is my file header:
pmc@disp:604:1/tmp$ hd SCAN |more

And this is the ruleset in the magic file:
# PBMPLUS images
# The next byte following the magic is always whitespace.
# strength is changed to try these patterns before "x86 boot sector"
0 name netpbm
>3 regex/s =[0-9]{1,50}\ [0-9]{1,50} Netpbm image data
>>&0 regex =[0-9]{1,50} \b, size = %s x
>>>&0 regex =[0-9]{1,50} \b %s
0 string P5
>0 regex/4 P5\\s
>>0 use netpbm
>>>0 string x \b, rawbits, pixmap
!:strength + 45
!:mime image/x-portable-pixmap
The failing line is the one with "regex/4" command, and I dont see why
there is a *double* \ - but a single one doesnt work either. Using \n
instead, would work. And what also works is this one:
>0 regex/4 P5[[:space:]]
To figure the root cause would mean to look into that libmagic, and
maybe there is a misunderstanding between the design of that lib and the
linux guys maintaining the magic file?
