Description: makepkg calls 'file' to determine how to extract a file. On some files, it seems to report the wrong type after the update to 5.21-2.

The file I had problems was http://ptxdist.org/software/ptxdist/download/ptxdist-2014.12.0.tar.bz2

Before the update:

file -bziL ptxdist-2014.12.0.tar.bz2
application/x-tar; charset=binary compressed-encoding=application/x-bzip2; charset=binary
=> makepkg worked

After the update:

file -bziL ptxdist-2014.12.0.tar.bz2
application/x-bzip2; charset=binary
=> makepkg didn't work, it extracted only the bzip2 file, not the tarball that was inside
This task depends upon
