Description Steve Bergman 2006-11-07 16:07:42 UTC
Description of problem:

Beagle incorrectly identifies files as text/plain and "beagle-query --verbose"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

beagle-0.2.10-6.fc6

How reproducible:

Always, for affected files.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Index the attached file
2. beagle-query --mime text/plain --verbose rueb group 
  
Actual results:

Exception.

Expected results:

That it would not return this result and would not crash.


Additional info:

Oddly, gnome-vfs-info identifies the file as "application/octet stream" and
'file' identifies it as "sticky ASCII text".  But beagle sees it as text/plain.

I first reported upstream, but they say that their beagle will not even try to
index the file.  I also see this on microsoft .MDX files.  It identifies them as
text and then crashes when querying with --verbose.

Test file that crashes beagle-query --verbose

I also have an .MDX file I could upload, but this is the simplest case I have.

This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
