I've got this same bug while using etch and while trying to run the unit tests for our code that is mostly developed on Ubuntu. It seems, that on Ubuntu the Word-documents are recognized as application/msword (which is the standard) and Debian etch recognizes the same document as application/vnd.ms-word (which is non-standard). Note that standard mime type for Excel is application/vnd.ms-excel, but for Word it's msword on other distros.

I can get the unit tests to work by _downgrading_ the debian package libmagic1 from 5.01->4.26. Note! this seems not to be gnome package problem but a libmagic1 problem.

Working package is libmagic1_4.26-1_i386.deb


It would be great if Debian would be using standard mime types instead of non-standard ones.
