Weird output and descriptions - ScPup64 upgraded to 21.04+0 (Fix Found)

[OscarTalks]

I am getting some very strange output when compiling. I just upgraded my frugal of ScPup64 to 21.04+0
Also the descriptions in ROX "Properties" look peculiar
This seems to be coming from the package named "file"
When running new2dir make install on anything there are lots of lines like this:-

I believe I have found the fix.
Execute the script /etc/file/recompile_magic.mgc.sh
This creates the compiled data file /etc/file/magic.mgc
Descriptions of file contents in ROX then appear as they should
Compiling output then looks as normal

Code: Select all

Hi @OscarTalks

This is a problem with the "file" package which I reported to Pat

New version was uploaded today which seems to fix

They are only warnings so can be safely ignored (I think)

A +2 version of ScPup will appear "shortly"
