DetailsDescription:
`file -mime foo.cpio` incorrectly detects the file as octet-stream. `file foo.cpio` seem smarter. Notices while hacking on mkinitcpio. Additional info: * package version(s) 5.40-5 * link to upstream bug report, if any https://bugs.astron.com/view.php?id=267 Steps to reproduce: echo test > test-file LANG=C bsdtar --uid 0 --gid 0 --null -cf - --format=newc test-file > foo.cpio file --mime foo.cpio foo.cpio: application/octet-stream; charset=binary <<< WRONG file foo.cpio foo.cpio: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC) <<< GOOD
