Package: findutils Version: 4.6.0+git+20160126-3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
Hi, The new version of find has a weird behaviour, at least in the arches: armhf armel and mipsel. As simple test: dir=$(mktemp -d) cd $dir ln -s a b find -type f Shows ./b while it shouldn't. Interestingly: $ find -type l find: Duplicate file type 'l' in the argument list to -type Both examples work fine in amd64. I haven't followed the code thoroughly, but it seems that the type is using a float to hold a bit mask, maybe this is not so well behaved in all arches. This breaks dh_md5summs in the mentioned arches, producing a number of ftbfs's, and probably many other things, thus the severity.
