Package: findutils
Version: 4.1.20-6
I suppose there is a bug in gnulib/configure script which leads
to generation of gnulib/config.h file without
#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
line.
The same line present in root ./config.h file.
Without this define 32-bit i386 'find' is unable to work on
some partitions (e.g. NFS) with x86-64 kernel, since it calls
readdir() -> getdirents64(), but glibc is unable to convert 64bit
inode numbers to 32bit fields required in readdir() and readdir()
returns EOVERFLOW.
If compiled with this define it starts to work fine.
NOTE: The same bug doesn't happen with 'ls', as it has _FILE_OFFSET_BITS==64.
Thanks,
Kirill

Hello,
Aargh. I had looked at 4.2.20 instead of 4.1.20.
Afaict any 4.2.x version did not use a separate broken
gnulib/configure which is why I am marking this fixed in the first
upload of the 4.2.x series to unstable.

Thanks for verifying this.

Yes, this is the version currently shipped in etch and sid, rebuilt
for usage on sarge.
This bug is not severe enough to be fixable in sarge, and will
therefore not be fixed there. I suggest you continue using the
backport.
