By removing the '-s' switch to the find command, I'm able to get it to work. AFAIK, it's been like this for a while but this is the first (small) look I've taken at why it was failing. Unfortunately, the CVS repo shows that this file hasn't been touched in 10 months. Maybe the problem is actually with 'find'? >How-To-Repeat: Run 'periodic weekly'. Note that the resulting /var/db/locate.database is very small. >Fix: Workaround: Remove '-s' from the find command in /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb . >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
