Hi,

upstream does not build libmagic.a anymore since File-5.14. I don't know what
was the original reason to even package this static library, but according to
repoquery, nobody is using it. I'm removing file-static subpackage in
rawhide now. If you use it, please start using shared library or tell me if
there is some compelling reason to keep this subpackage there.

Regards,
Jan Kaluza
