Hi James,
yesterday I have fetched the findutils sources from CVS (as of 06 Feb 2005).
Meanwhile I found the following problem (bug) in find:
find /usr/local/lib -name '*.la'
yields "find: /usr/local" on stderr, nothing on stdout, and rc=1 whereas the
version from findutils-4.2.15 (from 30 Jan 2005) yields nothings on
stderr, lots of files on stdout, and rc=0.
I should add that (for historical reasons) there are two symlinks involved:
/usr/local => /etc/local
/etc/local => /mnt/local = disk partition
Note, however, that the files given on the command line are real files
(actually directories) and not symbolic links!
Adding the option -H reproduces the result from findutils-4.2.15, but should
the -P/-H/-L options really be applied to the directory containig real files
given on the command lines?
Any comments?
