A fresh build works.

This is certainly unfortunate, because the package was removed
from trixie at 2025-02-23 (more than a year ago).

Anyway, I did a debbisect and this was the outcome:

bisection finished successfully
  last bad timestamp: 20250712T143640Z
  first good timestamp: 20250713T022514Z
only one package differs: ruby-mimemagic 0.4.3-1 -> 0.4.3-2

so this was really a bug in ruby-mimemagic.

Thanks.
