Package: common-lisp-controller Version: 4.19 Severity: normal In the process of upgrading common-lisp-controller from 4.18 to 4.19 (and I actually saw this earlier, assuming it would be fixed), I see the following text: ---- Preparing to replace common-lisp-controller 4.18 (using .../common-lisp-controller_4.19_all.deb) ... find: warning: you have specified the -depth option after a non-option argument -type, but options are not positional (-depth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it). Please specify options before other arguments. ---- It looks like the third call to find in the preinst script (see below for excerpt) is what's setting this off, but I'm not sure if simply moving the options around would do the right thing. Here's the segment of code in question: ---- case "$1" in install) ;; upgrade) # cleanup fasl files: find /usr/share/common-lisp/source/defsystem /usr/share/common-lisp/source/asdf /usr/share/common-lisp/source/common-lisp-controller -type f -not -name "*.lisp" -print0 | xargs --null rm --force 2> /dev/null # remove old autobuild files: find /etc/common-lisp -name autobuild -print0 | xargs -0 rm 2> /dev/null || true find /etc/common-lisp -type d -depth -print0 | xargs rmdir 2> /dev/null || true ... etc, it goes on ---- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I believe that the snippet marked above is what gives rise to this warning. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.7+phil1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages common-lisp-controller depends on: ii bash 3.0-16 The GNU Bourne Again SHell ii cl-asdf 1.89-1 Another System Definition Facility ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.58 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.14.3 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii perl 5.8.7-5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii realpath 1.9.25 Return the canonicalized absolute common-lisp-controller recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded
