Package: findutils
Version: 4.4.2-1
Severity: normal

During an apt-get dist-upgrade from etch to testing on my Indy R5000 IP-22
I see the following lines:

xargs: xargs.c:450: main: Assertion `bc_ctl.arg_max <= (131072-2048)' failed.
Aborted
xargs: xargs.c:450: main: Assertion `bc_ctl.arg_max <= (131072-2048)' failed.
Aborted
xargs: xargs.c:450: main: Assertion `bc_ctl.arg_max <= (131072-2048)' failed.
Aborted

With the dist-upgrade still in progess I manually edit the system info below

Hi,

This is Savannah bug #27846:
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27846

The "proper" fix was in 4.5.6, but given the ifdef only applies if
ARG_MAX is defined and that every libc since wheezy has not defined
ARG_MAX - it is effectively fixed since wheezy.

Thanks,
James
