A Riddle for You, LoCo

 

Good evening Ohio,

I came across some odd behavior tonight and I'm curious whether anyone can
explain it. I decided to check whether any remnants were left over from when
I removed F-Spot from my system (yes, I could have used apt-get remove
--purge, but I didn't). So, since I wasn't quite sure what config-related
files & folders might be named (F-Spot vs f-spot, etc) I executed *find ~
-name *f*ot**--and there were no results. However, when I added a "p" to the
query, making it *find ~ -name *f*pot**, I did get results (in
~/.config/f-spot, for the curious).

So I'm curious: why would the initial query return no results? Is there an
explanation? Did I find a bug? Was my system compromised by quantum Erk #3
and his superior timelord technology?

Riddle me that, LoCo.

Rick
