I can confirm that this same problem exists in version 1.8.2
and the same work-around will solve the problem.
So, what happened to MimeMagic and was it ever fixed ?

Dear list,
a quick search through the list archives didn't bring up a result so
please excuse me if this issue has been solved already.
I am currently using Mediawiki 1.9.2. and experienced problems uploading
PNG images.
Although my test image shows an 'image/png'-mimetype with 'file -i',
Mediawiki keeps saying the file was corrupted.
Monitoring /tmp/php* while uploading the image again shows the uploaded
file to be image/png, too:
while(usleep 1); do file -i /tmp/php*|grep -v "ERROR"; done
/tmp/phpksjpPO: image/png
Mediawiki debug says
MimeMagic::detectMimeType: magic mime type of /tmp/phpcDoKKE:
text/plain
amongst other things, so I guess MimeMagic isn't working correctly..
Searching the meta wiki gives me the hint to add
$wgMimeDetectorCommand = "/usr/bin/file -bi";
to LocalSettings.php as a workaround, which actually does the trick.
But still I wonder: What's the problem with MimeMagic?
Thanks,
Sebastian
