I can't reproduce it on my server with slocate-3.1-r1 and a refreshed database (after a "updatedb"). I know, that my Desktop runs a different glibc, so I post version information for my server here as it might be important: sys-libs/glibc-2.6.1 > does that glob actually expand into anything ? > No. > are you running the command as root ? > I was running the command as root. I'll try in a few weeks, when I have access to my desktop. Feel free to remind me if I don't reply. Sorry for my tardiness. I ran into this on a new system as well. Seems like slocate doesn't like the '.'
I deleted the db /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db and ran updatedb as requested. It still barfs.
> does that glob actually expand into anything ?
Not sure what you mean. I posted the complete output.
are you running the command as root ?
Yes
