Package: findutils
Version: 4.4.2-8

The man page should be more precise about the difference
between "find . -size 2G", "find . -size -2G" and
"find . -size +2G". And it should say

        -size [+-]n[cwbkMG]

Esp. "-size 2G" does not work as expected, since it lists
a lot of files smaller than 2GByte (=2147483648 Bytes) as
well. The man page says "exactly", but this is misleading.
Same goes for the other options expecting numerical arguments.


I highly appreciate that findutils still provides real
man pages instead of hard-to-browse info documents.

Keep on your good work
Harri
