problem with `find -delete`

[Alexander Best]

thanks. but i moved away from using ports-mgtm/portupgrade so i don't really
want to use portsclean, but use something else.

i thought `find` should to be able to accomplish the job. maybe this is a bug
in find? because actually the `find` command i'm using should work.

cheers.
alex
