Package: file Version: 1:5.22+15-2 Severity: important Tags: patch upstream Forwarded: http://mx.gw.com/pipermail/file/2015/001777.html Control: found -1 1:5.24-1
Note to self, to avoid anybody else tripping over this has to investigate again: The handling of --parameter in the jessie and later versions of file is broken. 1. When using --parameter, file just segfaults. Fixed in upstream commit FILE5_24-22-g27b4e34 2. Any settings tweaked using --parameter have no effect when using --files-from. Fixed in upstream commit FILE5_24-23-g4ddb783 The jessie version should be fixed through an point release. A new upload to sid/stretch will follow soon. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.1.6 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages file depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libmagic1 1:5.22+15-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 file recommends no packages. file suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
