Subject: upgrade to findutils 4.2.22-1 makes isdn unusable

Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2005 19:01:24 +0000

Package: findutils
Version: 4.2.22-1
Severity: important

After upgrading findutils to version 4.2.22-1 isdn does not work anymore
because the startup scripts fail to find the configured devices.

See /etc/isdn/init.d.functions::listdevices

listdevices() {
        DEVS=`find /etc/isdn -regex '/etc/isdn/device\.\(ippp\|isdn\)[0-9]+' -printf '%f\n'`
}

I do have a file device.ippp0 in /etc/isdn.

The problem disappears when downgrading to findutils 4.1.20-6.
The same behaviour could be observed on an amd64 system.
