Summary0000070: [PATCH] Add AIX backup and package format detection
DescriptionI have noticed that AIX default package format is not identified by file ("data" returned). I am enclosing the patch.

I've managed to find example package with first signature variant (could be downloaded from IBM after signing up). Unfortunately I didn't find any example for the second form (confirmed only with Wikipedia and original AIX /etc/magic).
TagsNo tags attached.

both magic entries have the same description, is that correct?

Yes, that's correct. I haven't seen any explanation of what is the difference.
