It seems to me you sent Dave on a goose chase by asking him to reinstall python-libmagic, not python-magic...

You could say that about python-libmagic.  Python-libmagic hasn’t been updated for four years and forces a dependency to an (also four-year old) version of cffi that simply doesn’t install.

xml2rfc-3.2.0 depends on python-magic, though (which seems to work for me).
