Bug#661841: libkmime4 mistakenly considers .vdi files (virtualbox virtual disk) for text files

[Maze <maze@sherka.no-ip.biz>]

Package: libkmime4
Version: 4:4.6.5-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

I have a bunch of .vdi files as my virtual disks for virtualbox.
Normally these should be attributed the mimetype x-virtualbox-vdi,
however they are interpreted by kde as being plain text.

Interestingly, the mimetype command responds with the proper mime type,
unless mime type attribution through file extension is switched off
using the -M option.

This seems to be a case where libkmime4 fails to fall back to detecting
mime type based on extension when failing to analyze the contents of a
file. Hence, this could be a more general issue. However I have not
detected any other improper mime type detection on my system.

I worked around this by adding the following to
/usr/share/mime/packages/virtualbox.xml

<       <magic priority="100">                                                                                                                                                                      
<          <match type="string" offset="0:200" value="VirtualBox Disk Image"/>
<       </magic>
