nano, compiled with USE=-magic, able to open this empty file. (i tried all, 2.4.3-9999). Adding magic USE back makes the problem return.

what version of file are you using ?  make sure you're using not still on
file-5.26.

Comment 7 Oleh 2016-04-27 15:44:57 UTC

apparently, i'm still on 5.26. Should be 5.26-r1?

Comment 8 Oleh 2016-04-28 11:14:48 UTC

update to file-5.26-r1 fixed nano[magic]. Sorry about the noise. Can be closed.
