Bug Description
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/
but actually these two scripts call the same binary:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/updatedb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root /usr/bin/updatedb -> /etc/alternativ
$ ls -l /etc/alternativ
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root /etc/alternativ
thus, I checked the package ownership of these scripts
$ dpkg -S cron.daily/find
findutils: /etc/cron.
and found out that the original package according to http://
how could that happen?
using:
Ubuntu 9.04 with resent updates
findutils: 4.4.0-2ubuntu4
mlocate: 0.21.1-1ubuntu1
Using Karmic Alpha 3 here.
findutils version is 4.4.2-1. I don't actually have /etc/cron. daily/find file, which probably seconds the problem here.
