• Bug#1068700: file: wrong MIME type for RAR files

    From cacin@allfreemail.net@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 9 14:40:01 2024
    Package: file
    Version: 1:5.45-3
    Severity: normal

    Dear Maintainer,

    `file -i archive.rar` currently reports a MIME type of: application/x-rar

    However, according to sources like https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.rar

    the correct MIME type should be application/vnd.rar

    and the deprecated MIME type was application/x-rar-compressed

    It has never been application/x-rar as far as I can tell.
