[yocto] Magic/File problems

[Jeff Mitchell]

On my host system I have the "file" utility version 5.05. The version in 
poky/in my build directories is version 5.04. I'm seeing a lot of builds 
fail with the following:

| error: magic_load(ms, /usr/share/misc/magic) failed: File 5.4 supports 
only version 7 magic files. `/usr/share/misc/magic.mgc' is version 8

Note that the version there is 5.4; this doesn't match anything as far 
as I can tell.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff
