Follow-up Comment #10, bug #56410 (project findutils):
While find(1) act on the de-referenced file with -L, the called file(1) does
not - per default. GNU find will always pass the original name of the file
found, regardless whether -L is in
place or not. I think you simply want also file(1) to work on
the de-referenced file, so this can easily be done by passing
the -L option to file(1).
$ find -L ... -exec file -L '{}' +
Have a nice day,
Berny
