Description:
------------
MAGIC_MIME_LOCATIONS="/usr/local/share/file/magic /usr/share/file/magic /usr/share/misc/file/magic /etc/magic /usr/share/misc"
has incorrect path for file database in /usr/share/misc folder. Correct line looks as follows:

MAGIC_MIME_LOCATIONS="/usr/local/share/file/magic /usr/share/file/magic /usr/share/misc/file/magic /etc/magic /usr/share/misc/file"

Supplied patch fixes the issue and improves algorithm of magic file detection.

When I try this patch I get the message:
===>  Patching for pecl-fileinfo-1.0.3
===>  Applying FreeBSD patches for pecl-fileinfo-1.0.3
patch: **** malformed patch at line 22: AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(PHP_DEFAULT_MAGIC_FILE,"$PHP_DEFAULT_MAGIC_FILE",[magic file path])
=> Patch patch-config.m4 failed to apply cleanly.
*** Error code 1

What's wrong?

As far as I understood you are trying to install pecl-fileinfo-1.0.3 port. The patch (its slightly modified version) is already incorporated into this version of the freebsd port (files/patch-config.m4 file).

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pecl.php.net.

In case this was a pecl.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PECL better.
