[openSuSE Factory packages findutils-locate-4.5.10-2.1.i586 findutils-4.5.10-2.1.i586] locate stopped working since the database isn't built. Just saying updatedb causes /usr/bin/find: invalid expression; you have used a binary operator '-o' with nothing before it. Is this a known problem?

locate stopped working since the database isn't built. Just saying

updatedb

causes

/usr/bin/find: invalid expression; you have used a binary operator '-o' with nothing before it.

Is this a known problem?

It is now :) It seems to be caused by findutils-4.4.2-updatedb.patch which does -prunefs_exp=`echo $PRUNEFS |sed -e 's/\([^ ][^ ]*\)/-o -fstype \1/g' \ +prunefs_exp=`echo $PRUNEFS |sed -e 's/\([^ ][^ ]*\)/-fstype \1 -o/g' \ reverting that line makes it work again (the actual problem is that it inserts an extra -o at the end of that expression, so it ends with -o -o I've just reported it as bug 746610 Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

-prunefs_exp=`echo $PRUNEFS |sed -e 's/\([^ ][^ ]*\)/-o -fstype \1/g' \ +prunefs_exp=`echo $PRUNEFS |sed -e 's/\([^ ][^ ]*\)/-fstype \1 -o/g' \

reverting that line makes it work again

Unfortunately, not for me. I now get find: invalid expression; I was expecting to find a ')' somewhere but did not see one. Maybe you've reverted more than this single line?

Ah, yes I did, there was also this if [ "$LOCALUSER" != "" ]; then # : A1 su $LOCALUSER `select_shell $LOCALUSER` -c \ "$find $SEARCHPATHS $FINDOPTIONS \ \\( $prunefs_exp \ -type d \\( $prunefs_exp -regex '$PRUNEREGEX' \\) -prune \ -o $print_option" else # : A2 $find $SEARCHPATHS $FINDOPTIONS \ \( $prunefs_exp \ -type d \( $prunefs_exp -regex "$PRUNEREGEX" \) -prune -o $print_option fi The two lines "\\( $prunefs_exp \" and "\( $prunefs_exp \" look like stray lines to me, the same expression is included twice in the command line, so I simply deleted those two lines Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Werner It's still not fixed in factory. I patched the sources but it failed to build. I didn't make a note the failure so I would need to retrace the steps. Regards Sid.

I am experiencing the failure on 12.2(ms1) also. Do you need any help? non-programming that is :^) -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
