Subject: findutils: find -mtime reports wrong commandline arg in error case

Date: Fri, 05 Feb 2010 05:56:05 +0100

Package: findutils
Version: 4.4.0-2
Severity: minor


find consistently reports the _next_ argument as errornous instead of the actual
parameter to -mtime:

   find / -mtime +7d # find: missing argument to `-mtime'
   find / -mtime +7d -atime +7d # find: invalid argument `-atime' to `-mtime'

Correct would be "find: invalid argument `+7d' to `-mtime'" in both cases.
