======================================================
Package: findutils
Version: 4.4.0-2
Severity: minor

From find(1), regarding the -perm /mode option: "If no permission bits in mode are set, this test currently matches no files.  However, it will soon be changed to match any file (the idea is to be more consistent with the behaviour of -perm -000)."

That doesn't seem to be true anymore; the change has already been
made.  I believe https://savannah. ... s/index.php?14748 has information regarding that.  The man page doesn't seem to have been updated.

(Never mind that this behavior is not, in fact, more consistent from a mathematical perspective.  But oh well.)

Texinfo docs are correct, patch for find.1 ist straightforward:
