Bug Description
It appears that currently using either the file command or through the File::LibMagic interface that 1:5.34-2 on Cosmic (18.10) makes a MPEG-2 file be detected as Targa at a higher priority, thus taking precedence over being what it actually is. See the below lines as examples using clips from http://
$ file -k /home/piratefin
/home/piratefin
Note that this appears to only affect MPEG-2 (and possibly higher) as MPEG-1 is detected corretly.
$ file -k /home/piratefin
/home/piratefin
file -k /home/piratefin
This appears to not be an issue in 1:5.25 used in 16.04, however looking through the github it appears since then in possible 5.26 (or above) changes as seen in https:/
