apparently, the newer version of "file", when asked about the mime
type of an ISO image, reports:
application/octet-stream
when, from what i read, it should (and used to) report:
application/x-iso9660-image
the above unexpected(?) behaviour comes with file-5.37, and it's been
seen in the wild:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file/+bug/1763570
is this a known issue? i checked bugzilla but didn't find anything,
and this change in behaviour is messing with some install scripts
which use "file" to verify that something is a valid ISO image by
looking for the string "x-iso9660-image".
thoughts? others certainly seem to think this is a bug.
