Package: file Version: 1:5.35-4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have an .avi file on a debian server. The file command reports a wrong result: $ file -i myfile.avi myfile.avi: image/x-tga; charset=binary I get the same mime type with python3 and magic.from_file(). However, the same file on my ubuntu pc (rsynced) is correctly reported as a video: $ file -i myfile.avi myfile.avi: video/mpeg; charset=binary Weirdly , nautilus sees it correctly as a video (doesn't it use the same libmagic1 library?). -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libmagic1 depends on: ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libmagic-mgc 1:5.35-4 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 libmagic1 recommends no packages.
