Hi there, while finally preparing an answer I noticed somebody unblocked the file package for jessie without further discussion. Whoever pulled the strings, thanks a lot. And I hope this will not end in regressions or other annoyances.
Just one more thing: > Not to mention, in the previous release, an upload of file (for > unstable) broke dpkg's dpkg-shlibs. I know it was not you, who uploaded > that and I suspect this version of file is unlikely to be that bad given > it has been in unstable for 1½ months. I'd like to learn more about that but my search was unsuccessful for lack of proper search term. Could you provide a pointer, bug# or the like? Thanks again. Christoph
