rpm-4.4.2 can't find any magic files

[sean]

I've asked this before, and maybe it's not anything but when 
I build from a src rpm I get:

+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip /usr/bin/strip
lt-file: could not find any magic files!
lt-file: could not find any magic files!
lt-file: could not find any magic files!
lt-file: could not find any magic files!
lt-file: could not find any magic files!
lt-file: could not find any magic files!
lt-file: could not find any magic files!

rpm-build-4.4.2-4
file-4.15-3

  ls -l /usr/share/file
total 1380
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 420865 Sep 19 09:20 magic
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 905216 Sep 19 09:20 magic.mgc
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  31012 Sep 19 09:20 magic.mime
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  43264 Sep 19 09:20 magic.mime.mgc


file -m /usr/share/file/magic.mgc upgrade.log
lt-file: could not find any magic files!

but:

file -m /usr/share/file/magic upgrade.log
upgrade.log: ASCII English text

Anybody else see this?
