I have commited to git the change you requested. This will be in Trixie but not in Bookworm.
The package is fully backportable but I don't have the needed credentials. This is the only backport we ever had: >[2016-02-16] Accepted cruft-ng 0.4.4~bpo8+1 (source amd64) into >jessie-backports, jessie-backports (Paul Wise) When I read https://sources.debian.org/src/findutils/4.9.0-5/debian/locate.cron.daily/ I understand calling "updatedb" directly when it actually is "updatedb.findutils", can never work: all the PRUNExx etc... variable won't be defined. So the "--slave /usr/bin/updatedb updatedb /usr/bin/updatedb.findutils \" stanza here https://sources.debian.org/src/findutils/4.9.0-5/debian/locate.postinst/ is useless/botched-up. updatedb.{mlocate|plocate} do what they are expected to do and updatedb.findutils not. So the 3 alternatives are unequal. All the "locate" bugs are really old no, so I guess nobody cares: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=locate Greetings Le lun. 7 août 2023 à 16:10, Matus UHLAR - fantomas <[email protected]> a écrit : > I have configured locate.findutils to be my "locate" due to different > behaviour when providing multiple file arguments. > > I know it's slower, and I can live with that. > > However, cruft-ng calling "updatedb" updates incorrect database this way, it > also produces errors.
