Bugzilla Bug 219215

sys-apps/file-4.24 does not identify .ogg files (possibly others):
alan@nazgul ~ $ eix -e file
[I] sys-apps/file
     Available versions:  4.21-r1 4.23 (~)4.24 {python}
     Installed versions:  4.24(11:15:43 PM 04/01/2008)(python)

alan@nazgul ~ $ file /home/alan/music/A/ABC/The\ Lexicon\ of\ Love/01\ -\ Show\
me.ogg
/home/alan/music/A/ABC/The Lexicon of Love/01 - Show me.ogg: data

sys-apps/file-4.23 recognises these files correctly:
alan@nazgul ~ $ eix -e file
[I] sys-apps/file
     Available versions:  4.21-r1 4.23 [m](~)4.24 {python}
     Installed versions:  4.23(12:17:46 AM 04/25/2008)(python)

alan@nazgul ~ $ file /home/alan/music/A/ABC/The\ Lexicon\ of\ Love/01\ -\ Show\
me.ogg
/home/alan/music/A/ABC/The Lexicon of Love/01 - Show me.ogg: Ogg data, Vorbis
audio, stereo, 44100 Hz, ~160000 bps, created by: Xiph.Org libVorbis I (1.1.0
RC1)

4.24 has only /usr/share/misc/file/magic.mgc as a magic file

4.23 installs more files:
alan@nazgul ~/temp $ ls -al /usr/share/misc/file/
total 1602
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root     168 2008-04-25 00:17 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root     640 2008-04-15 18:51 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  484372 2008-04-25 00:17 magic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1062400 2008-04-25 00:17 magic.mgc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   33539 2008-04-25 00:17 magic.mime
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   46208 2008-04-25 00:17 magic.mime.mgc


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =sys-apps/file-4.24
2. file /path/to/an/ogg/file

Actual Results:  
file-4.24 says .ogg files are type "data"

Expected Results:  
file-4.24 should say .ogg files are "Ogg data, Vorbis audio..." etc

makeself 2.15 fails, because file doesn't recognize the unpacked file as ".gz".

I can confirm this. makeself-2.1.5 installs fine with file-4.23 but fails with
4.24 because the data blob is not recognised as a tarball.

See bug #215499 Comment #3

this is from upstream and should fix things:
#0              search/1000     OggS            Ogg data
0               string  OggS            Ogg data

SpanKY: What do you think about the above? I would like to fix up file-4.24.
Thanks.

We could still patch this for 4.24-r1 to make a newer stable. But I just bumped
it to 4.25 where the issue is fixed.
