From: Anush V <j <at> gnu.org> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 30.1; find-program value mismatch between runtime and ~grep.el~ definition Date: Wed, 09 Jul 2025 10:31:03 -0400Hello Emacs maintainers, emacs --no-init; C-h v find-program Shows find-program is a variable defined in ‘grep.el’. Its value is "/gnu/store/6i0xi5kf38jk54sw64akd3iv8scw5g6x-findutils-4.9.0/bin/find" However, the definition of find-program in `grep.el` is (defvar find-program (purecopy "/gnu/store/w4p913kmnga3xh80vx8vnkri42dcmqi3-findutils-4.9.0/bin/find") "The default find program. This is used by commands like `grep-find-command', `find-dired' and others.") The find-program value differs, despite no user configuration being loaded. Could you confirm whether this is expected behavior or a potential bug? Thank you for your time!
