Package: file Version: 4.17-2 Severity: normal (I hope this is indeed the right place to drop this bug. Otherwise, my apologies)
This package contains a file /usr/share/file/magic.mime. This file contains the following two lines: <magic.mime> # update to distinguish from *.vcf files by Joerg Jenderek: joerg dot jenderek at web dot de 0 regex BEGIN[[:space:]]*[{] application/x-awk </magic.mime> These lines seem to induce warning messages. For instance, the package Kronolith2 (part of Horde) installs a crontab that generates every minute an e-mail with the following message: <cron warning> PHP Warning: mime_magic: type regex BEGIN[[:space:]]*[{] application/x-awk invalid in Unknown on line 0 </cron warning> A quick scan with google reveals that numerous other packages (notably apache) generate similar messages. The warnings disappear when the line that I quoted above is removed from /usr/share/file/magic.mime. Therefore, I presume that the actual bug resides in libmagic1 and not in the other packages.
