My file command is broken.
$ file
file: symbol lookup error: file: undefined symbol: magic_setparam
$ which file
/usr/local/bin/file
$ ldd $(which file)
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffc43fd000)
libmagic.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libmagic.so.1 (0x00007fe48cd2d000)

$ # I have a file command in /usr/bin/ as well
$ # but the same thing happens, and the ldd output for it
$ # is identical to the one above
$ /usr/bin/file
/usr/bin/file: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/file: undefined symbol: magic_setparam
I tried reinstalling the file command, as well as reinstalling libmagic (and libmagic-dev) but to no avail.
I am running Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) but I was experiencing the same issue on 18.04.

You should remove locally installed/compiled version of libmagic with
sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libmagic.so.1
and then call file again.
