Update of bug #20310 (project findutils):
Assigned to: None => jay

Follow-up Comment #2:
My initial guess would be that you are using a findutils installation in
whcih the "configure" script thought that sort had a working -z option, but
in fact it doesn't work.
In updatedb.sh there is the following:
if @SORT_SUPPORTS_Z@
then
sort="@SORT@ -z"
print_option="-print0"
frcode_options="$frcode_options -0"
else
sort="@SORT@"
print_option="-print"
fi
If my hypothesis is correct, this expands to ...
if true
then
sort="sort -z"
print_option="-print0"
frcode_options="$frcode_options -0"
else
sort="sort"
print_option="-print"
fi
... but sort's -z option does not provide for sorting NUL-terminated strings.
Could you check both of these gueses please?
