Package: jdupes
Version: 1.28.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Jody Bruchon, the jdupes author, told me that the hash database feature is
disabled due to a conditional logic error introduced in v1.28.0 during the
major hashdb changes.

The condition was inadvertently written with the opposite logic, completely
disabling the hash database functionality.

This does not affect the correctness of jdupes results or pose any data
integrity risk, but causes a significant performance regression, especially
when processing large, unchanging datasets where the hash database provides
substantial performance improvements.

The issue has been confirmed upstream, and a new version (1.31.2) containing
the fix has been released.

Regards,

Eriberto
