Why do you think so?
Before the upgrade in openSUSE 12.3 I had findutils-4.5.10-10.8.1.i586 findutils-locate-4.5.10-10.8.1.i586 I did the upgrade using zypper dup without modifying the list of packages which should be installed or upgraded. After the upgrade in 13.1 I have findutils-4.5.12-1.1.i586 mlocate-0.26-4.1.2.i586 Again - I did not choose to get mlocate, it happened automatically.
findutils [1] is still shipped with locate(1) and the update(1) job for cron.

Please check it again.
My observation was that the upgrade replaced findutils-locate by mlocate and it required the steps mentioned in the bug description to get it working. The rpm findutils did not and does not contain locate and updatedb, it was split off some versions ago into the findutils-locate rpm package which is not installed by default. comment 3 states that it was a decision to replace findutils-locate by Mlocate. So the upgrade behaved as it should. BTW: in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847826 I also stated that the new database for Mlocate was created correctly as soon as the daily cron job was run - which can mean a delay of up to 24 hours. For somebody who wants to use locate for post processing (e.g. rpmnew or rpmsav) files after the upgrade this is inconvenient. Therefore I suggest: if in the final release of 13.1 Mlocate replaces findutils-locate (like it is in 13.1 RC1) the resulting required change to add the users who want to use locate to the group locate should be mentioned in the release notes. Currently I see no reason to fall back to findutils-locate. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
