[Bug 2003709] Re: Apache2 magic mime file is broken (2.4.52-1ubuntu4.2)

 

Thanks for reporting this bug and trying to make Ubuntu better.

I tried to reproduce what you described in a Ubuntu Jammy container:

This requires extra investigation to understand why this was done.
Adding this bug to our backlog.
