I have a private mlocate database in my /home. Since a few days ago attempting to update the db now fails for a command such as:
"updatedb -l 0 -o /home/rsil/Downloads/rsildb -U /home/rsil"
Message is: "updatedb: can not open a temporary file for `/home/rsil/Downloads/rsildb"
There was an update to mlocate on 17 Nov, perhaps the culprit, or not. Whatever. How do I get back the ability to update my own database?
You can revert to the previous version in Yast/Software Management. Also you might want to mark it as "protected" (right click, select "Protected - Do Not Modify" in the popup) until the next update comes along.
Unfortunately does not work. Reverting to the other available version, from the original distro, also now fails. "Something" changed the permissions for something somewhere, and that's not reverted by reinstalling an old version. I could do a btrfs rollback to pre-Nov 17 but that seems a bit drastic for this particular problem, there have been a bunch of updates since that date that would also rollback.
