I import some files that I've seen before somewhere:
$ git annex import --deduplicate .../download
...
import download/What_is_The_Digital_Fiction_Factory-Conker_Media.pdf (duplicate) ok
...
But the resulting download directory is empty, and list doesn't show any of the files:
$ git annex list --allrepos What_is_The_Digital_Fiction_Factory-Conker_Media.pdf
here
|...
|...

|...
git-annex: What_is_The_Digital_Fiction_Factory-Conker_Media.pdf not found
How do I find out where this file can be found?
I did a dump of all known files:
$ git annex whereis > ../git-annex-whereisNo sign of the imported file.I don't think you're using a recent version of git-annex, the "(duplicate)" message has changed to something else a while ago.
Also, that message is only shown if you pass the --deduplicate flag, which you don't show in your transcript.
That flag does what it says on the tin: If the file is a duplicate of one git-annex has seen before, the file is deleted from the import location. (The next version of git-annex does add an additional check that the content of the file is present in the annex.)
