Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Install Debian stable (or anything else that uses
filein a version different from5.44; Debian stable uses5.39at the time of writing) - Install the package
file(which pulls in dependencies likelibmagic1andlibmagic-mgc), take care to install version5.39(or any version other than 5.44) - Build serenity
- In
$SERENITY_ROOT/Ports/file, run./package.sh
Expected behavior: Builds and installs just fine
Actual behavior: Fails to install, apparently it tries to use some host files; presumably the host magic files?
