Because the MimeMagicFile directive says, that the magic file is
located at /etc/apache/share/magic?

Those directives have nothing to do with the locations of the magic
file itself, except that the first one loads the apache module
mod_mime_magic, which interprets the MimeMagicFile directive and then
searches for the magic file. And due to your Apache understanding this
directive, there also should be a mod_mime_magic.so file in
/usr/lib/apache/1.3/, because otherwise the Apache wouldn't start
arguing that it can't find the module itself.
