[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.

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

@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

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 able to use

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
