"locate */.Xresouces" yields an abort using slocate-3.1-r1. It appears to be similar if not the same as Bug #133053. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update slocate to 3-1-r1 and run "updatedb" 2. Run the command "locate */.Xresources 3.

delete the database manually, then run updatedb and see if you have the same prob does that glob actually expand into anything ? are you running the command as root ?
(In reply to comment #2) > delete the database manually, then run updatedb and see if you have the same > prob > I can't access my desktop right now, where I hit this issue originally. 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
