Summary0000054: Berkeley DB file detection error
DescriptionWhile trying file on a Berkeley DB file (detected as 'Berkeley DB (Btree, version 9, native byte-order)' with file 5.32), I get this result with file 5.33: ', created: Thu Jan 1 00:38:24 1970'. This issue seems to be solved in file-5.34, but my distro uses 5.33.
Steps To Reproducerun `file` on the attached file.
Additional InformationI found this issue while compiling diffoscope with python-file instead of python-magic. One of the tests (where I found the attached file) fails because the file is not recognised correctly. For now, I've simply disabled the test to be able to build that tool, but it's not ideal.

GuixSD (my distro) cannot update file to a newer version before at least a few months because it requires rebuilding the whole set of packages. However, we can apply patches to the 5.33 version to fix this issue. If there is any patch you can point us to, we can still apply it without having to rebuild everything. Thank you!

You can always compile a newer version of file; even if I fix 5.33, it is uncertain if your upstream will pick up the changes. Thanks for the report anyway.
