           Summary: gaze install-queue reports "Unknown file type."
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: Untargetted future release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Gaze
        AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
        ReportedBy: vlmarek AT volny.cz


when you type gaze "install-queue"

/usr/sbin/gaze finally gets to the point calling this function

function display()  {

  if  [  -s  "$1"  ];  then
    case  "$(file  -b  $1)"  in
      *text)       cat  $1  |  $PAGER  ;;
      bzip2*)     bzcat  $1  |  $PAGER  ;;
      gzip*)   gzip -cd  $1  |  $PAGER  ;;
     *) message "Unknown file type."
       return 1 ;;
    esac
  else
    message  "$2" 1>&2
    false
  fi
}

The trouble is, that
$ file -b /var/log/sorcery/queue/install 
core file (Xenix)

$ cat /var/log/sorcery/queue/install
coreutils
ffmpeg-cvs
linux
module-init-tools
mplayer
nss
scummvm
udev
vpnsun
xorg

File(1) command get's confused by the 'coreutils' at the top of the queue, 
probably.

To be true, I can't see any clear fix for this. I tried to rename install to
install.txt, but file(1) does not take that hint. Possible fixes:

* cat unknown filetypes as if it is text. Since for gzip we display anything
what is in the *.gz file anyway.
* gzip /var/log/sorcery/queue/install
* add parameter to display function, which would override the file(1) 
detection
* Try to fix file(1) somehow to detect the file correctly as 
/usr/share/misc/file/magic contains
0       string          core            core file (Xenix)
