[gobolinux-users] Feature Request: Include silent "find -quit" into UpdateSettings for better error detection

[Johannes Grosse]

Hello,

I have recently installed Rootless GoboLinux on my student account.
The first steps were quite hard as it turned out that UpdateSettings
did not work properly because it relies on "find" understanding the
"-quit" option. Unfortunately find could not complain as its stderr
output was sent to /dev/null.
As a consequence Compile was not properly installed and I could not
simply Compile FindUtils... After some manual symlinking everything
worked, but it costed some hairs, though it's absolutely a great system.

I would suggest to include an empty "find -quit" to ensure that
there is at least an error message when this option is not understood.

Best regards,
Johannes

PS: I attached a tentative patch
