Package: src:freealut
Version: 1.1.0-3
Severity: normal

Hi!

An incoming version of findutils drops the syntax of find -perm +0123,
which contradicts POSIX and thus has been deprecated since 2005.  The
replacement is -perm /0123.

freealut uses it in three times in its build system, two of which look
like they should be built from source rather than to patch the output
of an automated tool.  Inappropriateness of patching Makefile.in aside,
to fix the problem at hand, please run:

sed -i 's:-perm +\([0-9]\):-perm /\1:g' `find -type f`
