Public bug reported:

The magic for text/x-tex in Ubuntu 15.04 is broken as it assigns
text/x-tex to any text file which contains the word "section", "chapter"
or "documentclass" within the first 100 characters.

This behavior is fixed if one adds backslashes to the appropriate match
values in /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml (.in) (see
attached patch).

** Affects: shared-mime-info (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Patch added: "fix_x-tex_magic.patch"
