#43686: defect: file (libmagic) : runtime failure
----------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  vergus@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect    |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal    |  Milestone:
Component:  ports     |    Version:  2.2.1
 Keywords:            |       Port:  file
----------------------+--------------------------------
 Using the file command provided by the port 'file' has not been working
 for a while now. It only ever produces runtime errors like the following:
 {{{
 $ file /tmp/testmldbm
 /tmp/testmldbm: ERROR: line 46: softmagic.c, 481: format `(Hash, version
 %d, native byte-order)' does not match with `%lu'
 }}}
 However, downloading and building the same version source (5.18) works as
 expected:
 {{{
 $ ./src/file -m magic/magic.mgc /tmp/testmldbm
 /tmp/testmldbm: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)
 }}}
 As does the older version (5.04) provided by OS X in /usr/bin:
 {{{
 $ /usr/bin/file /tmp/testmldbm
 /tmp/testmldbm: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)
 }}}
