Hi,
When I run the command
file -b -N -L -k -r an_image_fits_file.fits ERROR: line 5: regexec error 17, (illegal byte sequence)
file --version file-5.12 magic file from /opt/local/share/misc/magic
port installed | grep file file @5.12_2 (active) p5-file-changenotify @0.190.0_3 (active) p5.12-file-changenotify @0.190.0_3 (active) p5.12-file-listing @6.20.0_2 (active)
I have been recommended to report this problem to macports, reading Ticket Guidelines makes me think I should report it to whoever uploaded the "file" port? I do not know how to find this out- sorry!

I have been recommended to report this problem to macports, reading Ticket Guidelines makes me think I should report it to whoever uploaded the "file" port? I do not know how to find this out- sorry! -- Comment: I also get that kind of error on some files. The "file" port has no maintainer, so there is nobody within the MacPorts community who has claimed responsibility for this software. Even if there were, I doubt the problem is MacPorts-specific, so you should report the bug to the people who develop the "file" program; see their homepage at http://www.darwinsys.com/file/ for how to do that. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38771#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
