Package: file Version: 1:5.39-3 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: jcgo...@protonmail.com
Dear Maintainer, Latex source files which start with `%!` (usually used to specify directives, as described here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/78101) are detected as `PostScript document text`, mime type `application/postscript`, rather than `text/x-tex` or similar. The following (valid) Latex code shows the problem: %! \documentclass{article} \begin{document} asdf \end{document} If there's a space between the `%` and the `!`, `file` reports `text/x-tex`, but some users don't put the space there (also apparently valid), so the file gets incorrectly detected as Postscript. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages file depends on: ii libc6 2.31-11 ii libmagic1 1:5.39-3 file recommends no packages. file suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
