Public bug reported:
On my dapper system (findutils 4.2.27-1ubuntu1), the `find` program does
not give me accurate results.
In my ~/test directory, I have one .txt file and one .asp file. In a
subdirectory called includes, I have another .txt file and another .asp
file. However, `ls` and `find` do not agree.
Where the files are:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ ls *.txt
test.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ ls includes/*.txt
includes/test.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ ls *.asp
default.asp
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ ls includes/*.asp
includes/subscribe_inc.asp
The first problem is that running find from the root of the folder tree
does not return "includes/subscribe_inc.asp" as expected.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ find . -name *.asp
./default.asp
Howeer, the .txt files are reported as expected:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ find . -name *.txt
./test.txt
./includes/test.txt
If I try to find the asp files from the from the parent directory
however, it is correct.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ find test -name *.asp
test/includes/subscribe_inc.asp
test/default.asp
All files are owned by andy - modes on all dirs 755, all files 644.
Cheers
