Public bug reported: Binary package hint: findutils
while searching for reasons why updatedb slow-downs my laptop very often I found some strange configuration: there are to jobs in /etc/cron.daily: "find" which calls "updatedb" and "mlocate" which calls /usr/bin/updatedb.mlocate but actually these two scripts call the same binary: $ ls -l /usr/bin/updatedb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root /usr/bin/updatedb -> /etc/alternatives/updatedb $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/updatedb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root /etc/alternatives/updatedb -> /usr/bin/updatedb.mlocate thus, I checked the package ownership of these scripts $ dpkg -S cron.daily/find findutils: /etc/cron.daily/find and found out that the original package according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/findutils/filelist does not list this cron job script. how could that happen? using: Ubuntu 9.04 with resent updates findutils: 4.4.0-2ubuntu4 mlocate: 0.21.1-1ubuntu1 ** Affects: findutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- original and installed package differ in files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404737 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
