This bug still exists in Maverick, findutils version 4.4.2-1 $ 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: 4.4.2-1ubuntu1
This system has been upgraded over the years... I don't remember the first version, Feisty, maybe? I have both: /etc/cron.daily/find /etc/cron.daily/find.notslocate.dpkg-new /etc/cron.daily/find.notslocate.dpkg-new won't actually run because of the . in the filename. That file is effectively hidden. This is true for all cron scripts, maybe because of run-parts, I forget. So it's not true that updatedb runs “one plus the number of distribution upgrades” times. Definitely runs twice though because of the mlocate script. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197170 Title: cron daily runs updatedb twice -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
