The `file` utility failed to recognize PostScript files due to conflicting signature data at the magic file. The issue has been resolved long ago.

- tremon 10y agoIf it was my software, I would not have accepted that as a proper fix though. For me, the real bug is to rely on the "file" command (a user diagnostic tool) to choose different code paths in a printing program.
