-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: file Version: 4.24-3 Severity: normal
The root cause of #481247 is that when magic.mgc is compiled during the package build, the files in Magdir/ come out in an unpredictable order, depending on the underlying filesystem (readdir() doesn't sort its results). By contrast, the order of /usr/share/file/magic is determined by "echo *" in debian/rules, which (at least on bash and dash) gives sorted results. file(1) probably ought to readdir() the whole directory into an array of strings, sort them lexicographically, and iterate over the result. As a workaround for #481247 I'll just remove magic.mgc and re-create it from (the file that will become) /usr/share/file/magic. - -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages file depends on: ii libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libmagic1 4.24-3 File type determination library us file recommends no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFIZ96bWSc8zVUw7HYRAuovAJ4nS/NZ//Lubd+5d9ELvAxbFPJZPgCfW5Sb jMKsdvAkkRFk7JvKXY9LOPk= =eULf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
