Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Hi,

When I run the command 

>>file -b -N -L -k -r an_image_fits_file.fits
ERROR: line 5: regexec error 17, (illegal byte sequence)

>>file --version
file-5.12
magic file from /opt/local/share/misc/magic

>>port installed | grep file
  file @5.12_2 (active)
  p5-file-changenotify @0.190.0_3 (active)
  p5.12-file-changenotify @0.190.0_3 (active)
  p5.12-file-listing @6.20.0_2 (active)

I have been recommended to report this problem to macports, reading Ticket Guidelines makes me think I should report it to whoever uploaded the "file" port? I do not know how to find this out- sorry!

I also get that kind of error on some files. The "file" port has no maintainer, so there is nobody within the MacPorts community who has claimed responsibility for this software. Even if there were, I doubt the problem is MacPorts-specific, so you should report the bug to the people who develop the "file" program; see their homepage at ​http://www.darwinsys.com/file/ for how to do that.
