Description jcpunk 2012-02-16 19:54:07 UTC

Description of problem: The file command reports lzma archives as filetype 'data'.  It would be nice if they could detect lzma archives and report them as such.

How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. lzma somefile
2. file somefile
3. note the result
  
Actual results:
reports 'data'

Expected results:
reports 'lzma archive' or something that indicates the file can be extracted with lzma

Thanks for the report, but there's already bug about lzma support. Marking as duplicate.
