Hi Christoph, Can you help me come up with a more reliable regex / handling of file(1) output that satisfy your request from #931996 and also avoiding regressions like this bug? Because this generates wrong dependency info, I will "revert" the change (i.e. remove the anchor) now to limit the breakage as it can slip into testing. This will in turn reduce the pressure for us to find a better solution. Thanks, ~Niels
