It might require some special tree. - Do you see the error with the
commandline version in the original tree where you found the error?

Hi, Andreas.

Same result than you with your tests:

jesusda@lucas in /tmp/333
$ → mkdir -p /tmp/main-folder/sub-folder{1,2}/ ; echo "identical files" 
> /tmp/main-folder/sub-folder2/file-2.jpg ; echo "identical files" > 
/tmp/main-folder/sub-folder2/file-2-copy.jpg ; echo different > 
/tmp/main-folder/sub-folder2/file-1.jpg

jesusda@lucas in /tmp/333
$ → dpkg -s findutils | grep Version
Version: 4.6.0+git+20170828-2
jesusda@lucas in /tmp/333
$ → /usr/share/fslint/fslint/findup /tmp/main-folder
sub-folder2/file-2-copy.jpg
sub-folder2/file-2.jpg
jesusda@lucas in /tmp/333
$ →

Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Hello,

thanks for the detailed description. Do you see the error without gui?
I have just tried in vain:

Hello,

could you please elaborate a litle bit on how exactly fslint-gui breaks.
What error is triggered? How can I reproduce this?

TIA, cu Andreas



Yes.

E.g.:

I have a folder with subfolders, and inside them, there are duplicate files.

/main-folder/
> /sub-folder1/
> /sub-folder2/
> file-1.jpg
> file-2.jpg
> file-2-copy.jpg


If I run fslint-gui inside sub-folder2, when searching for duplicate 
files, fslint detects file2.jpg and file2-copy.jpg are duplicates.


But, if I run fslint-gui inside main-folder and check "recursive", when 
searching for duplicate files, no one is located, although we know there 
are two duplicate files in sub-folder2.


If I downgrade the findutils package, fslint-gui is capable to find 
file2.jpg and file-2-copy.jpg as duplicates when searching from 
main-folder recursively.


I hope been able to explain this issue. ;)
Thanks!

Hello,

could you please elaborate a litle bit on how exactly fslint-gui breaks.
What error is triggered? How can I reproduce this?

Package: findutils
Version: 4.6.0+git+20161106-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Upgrading findutils from stable to testing breaks the fslint-gui recursive
function to search duplicate files.

I tried to downgrade fslint from 2.44 to 2.42 and the bug persists.

When downgrading findutils from 4.6.0+git+20170828-2 to 4.6.0+git+20161106-2,
both fslint version still working again.

Thanks!
