Dear Sir or Madam,
the Bug #335674 seems to be back.

Error: invalid magic file, disabled

I've anabled to log startup-errors and got the following Messages:

If I comment out Line 630 ... 640 in the magic.mime file
PHP will enable mime_magic. Also if I change the type "search/400" to
"string" it will enable it, but I don't know if this is correct.

Please re-open the Bug to resolve the issue.

search/400 indicates to the parser that it should start looking for
the pattern after 400 bytes.

I am willing to mark this bug as wontfix because mime_magic is
deprecated (and has been for some time) and fileinfo (only available
at pecl.php.net; not yet packaged for Debian) doesn't suffer from this
kind of bugs because it makes use of libmagic, which is what the file
command uses.

Subject: Pecl package is unmaintained since 2006/11

Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 22:58:02 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Fileinfo pecl package is unmaintained anymore [1] and Php team
announced that fileinfo is included in PHP 5.3.x release [2]. A
detailed procedure to build this pecl module with Debian way [3] is
generaly sufficient for having fileinfo support.

1: http://pecl.php.net/package/Fileinfo, moved to php-src/ext/fileinfo
2: http://qa.php.net/,  (5.3.0beta1 at this time)
3:
http://www.dotdeb.org/2008/09/25/how-to-package-php-extensions-by-yourself/

I think that this bug can be assigned to php5 package and closed when
PHP 5.3.x will be included in sid.

In case if packaging of php-fileinfo is *really* needed, i could adopt
and work and it.
