updatedb conversion to sh bug

Hello there,

the updatedb-script of my findutils package has a little mistake in it that keeps it from running.
Version is 4.1.20-r1 on architecture armeb (Linksys NSLU2, UNSLUNG).
Right at the beginning, David MacKenzie forgot to change the variable for the command line options from $args to $@ (s. below).
I changed it and now the script works.


Best regards
Frank Berger

The last two lines should be:

  opt=`echo $@|sed 's/^\([^=]*\).*/\1/'`
  val=`echo $@|sed 's/^[^=]*=\(.*\)/\1/'`
