Upstream considers it a bug, see <http://bugs.gw.com/view.php?id=248>.
I'm therefore reassigning this. Leaving the severity at 'serious'
to prevent accidental testing migration.

It's fixed upstream with
 https://github.com/glensc/file/commit/1198be74dcd8982dfcc9ba5a05e8950376ea74af

The first hunk of that patch doesn't apply against src:file_1:5.14-1
because the RCS revision has changed, the rest of it does with minimal
fuzz. I'm attaching a version with the RCS hunk filtered out. I've
verified that the patch makes libfile-libmagic-perl build again
successfully.
