Update of bug #14376 (project findutils):
Status: None => Invalid
Assigned to: None => jay

Follow-up Comment #2:
No, that's the correct behaviour. The -follow option causes find to
dereference all symblic links. That means that the -type test considers
"linkfile" to be be a vanilla file, since the link is dereferenced. If you
want to use -follow (or -L) but still check the type of unbroken symbolic
links, use the -xtype test.
Did you get an impression different to the above from reading the
documentation? If so, that's a bug in the documentation - please point out
the bit of the documentation that needs fixing.
