Answer 1

I had a similar problem and i figured out that I was using Paperclip 2.5 and paperclip internally uses cocaine gem. Cocaine 0.4.2 is not backward compatible so I downgraded cocaine to 0.3.2 and it all worked magically. In you Gemfile, just write

gem 'cocaine', '0.3.2'

and run

bundle update

A note to myself and any other person who gets here by googling the error type: Imagemagick will throw this error if it doesn't recognize the file type.

I was getting this error when users were trying to upload images. I kept not being able to reproduce the problem, and it was definitely not a question of uninstalled dependencies. Turns out they were trying to upload an unrecognized mime type -- camera raw images.
