The compiled magic.mgc file in libmagic1 version 4.24-2 causes this bug - it doesn't match the uncompiled file. Recompiling it solves the bug.
On my PC, both file and libmagic1 are at version 4.24-2. /usr/share/file# ls -l total 2148 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512370 2008-05-03 13:38 magic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1636608 2008-05-03 13:38 magic.mgc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34833 2008-05-03 13:38 magic.mime /usr/share/file# file ~/libRuby.so.5.18 /root/libRuby.so.5.18: Linux/i386 core file of '/', dynamically linked, not stripped /usr/share/file# rm magic.mgc /usr/share/file# file ~/libRuby.so.5.18 /etc/magic, 4: Warning: using regular magic file `/usr/share/file/magic' /root/libRuby.so.5.18: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, not stripped /usr/share/file# file -C /usr/share/file/magic, 12638: Warning: escaped tab found, use \t instead /usr/share/file/magic, 12639: Warning: escaped tab found, use \t instead /usr/share/file# file ~/libRuby.so.5.18 /root/libRuby.so.5.18: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, not stripped Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
