Package: file
Version: 4.25-1
Severity: normal
Microsoft excel documents are not detected properly. Test document:
http://www.nauka.gov.pl/_gAllery/37/76/37767/20080529_zalacznik_nr_3.xls
is seen as:
$ file -i 20080529_zalacznik_nr_3.xls
20080529_zalacznik_nr_3.xls: application/octet-stream
even that magic.mime contains *some* excel entries.
This problem is also visible to powerpoint files:
http://www.iasted.org/conferences/formatting/Presentations-Tips.ppt
Open XML files are misdetected as zip files:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.doc: application/msword
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.docx: application/zip
Office Open XML sample.doc: application/msword
Office Open XML sample.docx: application/zip
These docs are in Samples.zip at
http://openxmldeveloper.org/articles/SampleDocs2.aspx
This bug affects users of for example roundcube webmail which
uses libmagic mime type for attachments information.
