Package: mlocate Version: 0.26-5 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: none, Francesco Potortì <poto...@isti.cnr.it>
When updatedb was run by cron, an error would be mailed to root. With systemd, this is not longer the case. I changed something in /etc/updatedb.conf and introduced a syntax error. I realised that only some days later, after noticing that some files were not present in the mlocate database. updatedb should notify something when it sees an error instead of failing silently -- Francesco Potortì (ricercatore) Voice: +39.050.621.3058 ISTI - Area della ricerca CNR Mobile: +39.348.8283.107 via G.
