The /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc is shipped by libmagic-mgc so someone or something must have removed it later. Do you have traces of your upgrade path, like old version, new version or additional messages? The files /var/log/apt/term.log and /var/log/dpkg.log should provide some information. FWIW, I test-upgraded a jessie-i386 chroot, everything worked as expected. Christoph
