I suggest adding the "-u" parameter on the sort that feeds frcode. That way
duplicate entries that may have been introduced by specifying overlapping
directories with "--localpaths" will be pruned. The justification is that,
although the find command may have found the item more than once, but the item
itself only exists once.
Basically, replace:
} | $sort -f | $frcode $frcode_options > $LOCATE_DB.n
with
} | $sort -fu | $frcode $frcode_options > $LOCATE_DB.n
I actually make this change whenever I install findutils, and thought I should
pass it back.
Thanks for the great set of utilities.
