“This is fixed in ... 4.2.32-1ubuntu2 in Hardy.”
I beg to differ. As of today with all updates applied on Hardy:
$ ls /etc/cron.daily/find
/etc/cron.daily/find
$ dpkg -S /etc/cron.daily/find
findutils: /etc/cron.daily/find
$ dpkg -s findutils | grep ^Version
Version: 4.2.32-1ubuntu2
So, the file is still there and the findutils package still appears to
own it. It's reasonably clear to the moderately knowledgeable user that
the orphaned /etc/cron.daily/find.notslocate.dpkg-new can be deleted
without causing headaches further down the line. It is not clear with
/etc/cron.daily/find. A real fix must, I think, check for and remove all
of the historically obsolete files so that the farcical situation of
updatedb running “one plus the number of distribution upgrades” times is
alleviated for the ordinary user.
