Comment 7 for bug 683668

@Robert:
So I suggest: the "file" command gives wrong type for data compressed with
"compress"

Subject: [Bug 683668] Re: file command in 10.10 produces wrong message

@latimerio: the description you have given (data being compressed with
'compress') 1. is in a continuous tense, which is not the best thing
(although I'm not a native English speaker), and contains the word compress
twice... if we tolerate that, we could say "data compressed with 'compress'"
2. also contains the ' character, so that will still mess up your output
parser, I think

Title:
  file command in 10.10 produces wrong message

Status in "file" package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: file

in 10.10 the file command for a compressed (gzip) file says:
 ... compress'd...
The apostroph in here is completely wrong to me.
It messed up things in my output parser and it should say compressed
instead of compress'd as in previous versions of ubuntu.
