AnalyzeAPK regression: unexpected keyword argument 'magic_file'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I can't use AnalyzeAPK() any longer with Androlyze 1.6 though it used to work 
perfectly well.

This seems to happen on any apk. Strange?

In [2]: a, d, dx = AnalyzeAPK( 
'/home/axelle/prog/isemulator/bin/IsEmulator-debug.apk' )
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

It is a problem with libmagic (one more time, this library is very annoying). 
What is your version ?

This is what I have, and unfortunately, it's up to date...

Yes, the main reason is that the debian magic library is not the same as 
https://github.com/ahupp/python-magic. I'm working on that.
