After the last "emerge world -u" when I reboot my system the kernel (2.6.10-nitro4) print a lot of those warnings: *Scanning font directories ... find: warning: you have specified the -maxdepth option after a non-option argument -type, but options are not positional (-maxdepth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it). Please specify options before other arguments. I don't know what is appened... On the last boot I haven't this warning message.. thank you Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. If it can help in the last session I have merged those packets: x11-misc/wmctrl-1.07 app-arch/p7zip-4.14.01 sys-apps/gawk-3.1.4-r4 sys-apps/sed-4.1.4 media-sound/sox-12.17.7 app-arch/bzip2-1.0.2-r5 x11-terms/rxvt-unicode-5.1 dev-lang/python-2.3.5 sys-apps/findutils-4.2.18
It's because of new findutils... It seems -maxdepth should be used before -type in the invocation of find... I corrected the init script for xfs and don't have these warnings anymore. On line 37, we should have : fontlist="$(find $1/ -maxdepth 1 -type f | \ Hope this helps.
Yea! This fixed my problem too! thankyou :)
I have the fix in that you suggested already applied to the init script for xfs. Yet, Sunday when I was doing an emerge -e system, the warning message still came up in some of the compiling. This is from the log for xorg, just as an example: Creating fonts.scale files... ... find: warning: you have specified the -maxdepth option after a non-option argument -type, but options are not positional (-maxdepth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it). Please specify options before other arguments. This is from my /etc/init.d/xfs file: fontlist="$(find $1/ -maxdepth 1 -type f | \ gawk '$0 !~ /fonts\..*$|^.*\.dir$|XftCache/
