The upstream source changed the way it handles files between etch and
lenny. In the process of adding an as yet undocumented feature to
process directories of magic files they have made is so the ".mime"
suffix must be explicitly put on to the filename when loading .mime
files.
I pulled the source of all of the Lenny packages affected by this
change, those which depend on libmagic1. A read of their source puts
them into 5 categories:
No Calls to magic_load() - unaffected
apache2
php5
roundcube
Only passes NULL to magic_load() - unaffected
aegis
anymeal
classpath
gmediaserver
irmp3
orange
mkvtoolnix
nepenthes
spalshy
worker
Just a wrapper for another language - unaffected
magic-haskell
mahoro
ocaml-magic
Passes a filename to magic_load(), but not with MAGIC_MIME* flags set
- unaffected
cdrkit
That leaves two packages that have problems:
dares - The "-m" command option will need a ".mime" on the end
mediatomb - The magic_file configuration entry will need a ".mime" on
the end
I have asked the upstream maintainer for guidance on his intent, if
the code should change or the man page.
