[Touch-packages] [Bug 1741128] Re: libmagic1 in 16.04 reports XLS files as application/CDFV2-unknown

This bug was fixed upstream almost a year ago. It would be nice to see this addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, which is still on libmagic1 version 5.25. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to file in Ubuntu. https://bugs.

The fact that this was reported on 2014-09-04 and *still* has not been fixed is unbelievable. It seems related to (or the same as) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zlib/+bug/1512992 , which was opened on 2015-11-04 and has not been fixed yet either. Only ten days ago was a fix proposed,

This bit me yet again, and this time, I had to add one more package to the list (lib64z1-dev, which is simply the x64 equivalent of lib32z1-dev, which we already knew to be problematic). The complete list of packages to force-remove to resolve this is now: sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends "gcc-mu

@Karthik I agree; this is a particularly severe bug because it renders the entire apt-get facility useless. For what it's worth, even though the last command is the command that "fixes" the issue, I believe it to be desirable to execute the previous two commands, too, because those packages are p

To follow-up on my previous comment, I was able to work around this "broken state" in aptitude by purging the offending packages with "--force-depends": dpkg --purge --force-depends "gcc-multilib" dpkg --purge --force-depends "lib32z1-dev" dpkg --purge --force-depends "libc6-dev-x32" Now, I'm abl

Thanks for taking the time to report this, richud, and especially for providing the attachments. This bug bit me today, too. Were you able to implement any sort of a workaround? This seems like a significant problem to go unfixed since September, 2014. Here's what happened, in my particular cas
