You could try running systemctl restart mlocate-updatedb.service and see if that updates your database. The man pages for updatedb.conf and updatedb seem to suggest that it is possible to run updatedb from the command line, and to create your own local version of updatedb as a user. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
