Package: findutils
Version: 4.4.2-9+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

find doesn't find on first invocation, only on second and subsequent ones after
a boot.

   * What led up to the situation?
Fresh boot, then log in as root.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Invoked the find command twice within seconds of each other. The first
invocation does not recurse down from the root of the file system except for
entering /sys/ The second and every subsequent invocation will recurse
properly. Example output:

    root@host:~# find / -iname 'cpufrequtils*'
    /sys/fs/cgroup/devices/system.slice/cpufrequtils.service
    /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/system.slice/cpufrequtils.service
    root@host:~# find / -iname 'cpufrequtils*'
    /sys/fs/cgroup/devices/system.slice/cpufrequtils.service
    /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/system.slice/cpufrequtils.service
    /run/systemd/generator.late/runlevel5.target.wants/cpufrequtils.service
    /run/systemd/generator.late/runlevel4.target.wants/cpufrequtils.service
    /run/systemd/generator.late/runlevel3.target.wants/cpufrequtils.service

    /var/lib/dpkg/info/cpufrequtils.md5sums
    /var/lib/dpkg/info/cpufrequtils.postrm

   * What was the outcome of this action?
First invocatoin of find did not actually find what it should find.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Output as shown by the second invocation (see above)

Thanks, marking as fixed in 4.6.0-1.

That is not feasible. find dropped the '-perm +xyz' syntax and
multiple packages in jessie use this (e.g. python).
