today I recognized, that my MW 1.5.0 running on Debian Testing produces the 
same error:

Fatal error: mime_magic could not be initialized, magic 
file /usr/share/misc/file/magic.mime is not available 
in /var/www/mediawiki-1.5.0/includes/MimeMagic.php on line 476

I'm not sure what triggers the bug, since I got other pages containing images 
that work well.

Before I try these possible solutions, are there any other suggestions for the 
Linux case?
