    a magic.mime file if the base magic file exists (closes: #382057)

file (4.15-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add Build-Depends to python, although I really don’t see the point of the

    have been acceptible, but a segmentation fault (closes: #333502)
  * Move the magic databases from /usr/share/misc/file to /usr/share/file;
    this still violates the FHS in letter, but not in spirit; this is

file (4.09-1) unstable; urgency=low

file (4.07-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Move the "debian-additions" magic file back in; it got lost
  * Move up "compress" in the list to test for gzip before FLI; this
    closes: #228391 - but what happens if I have a real FLI file that
    starts with the two gzip magic bytes?
  * Replace the really bad magic for MP3 in magic.mime with the one found
    in "animation" (closes: #227625)
