+Well, my build log on Mageia 2 shows it running find-debuginfo.sh as well, it
+just doesn't fail there.  It's not clear why.  I ran it manually with bash -x
+(after exporting the RPM_BUILD_ROOT variable) and it ends with:
++ read nlinks inum f
++ exit
+
+and the exit status is 1.
+
+In find-debuginfo.sh, it's actually a string of commands being piped to
+while read nlinks inum f; do
+
+and I ran that string of commands (find | file | sed | xargs | ) manually,
+and once it gets past the sed part of the pipeline, the output is empty.
+
+So read should exit with a non-zero exit status, and the contents of the while
+loop shouldn't run.  However, this shouldn't cause the whole script to exit 1.
+
+That while loop does end with done || exit, but that shouldn't get hit.
+
+This gives a zero exit status:
+echo -n '' | while read foo; do true; done
+
