Subject: file: Incorrect mime info for windows executables
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 10:47:54 +0200
Package: file
Version: 5.04-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


As reported upstream [1], Windows executables have bad mime type
recognition.

The patch provided in [2] corrects the problem, so I adapted it to
apply as patch 247 in debian package.
