   An update that has two recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:

   Find used /etc/mtab to determine the file system type and
   thus wrongly classified autofs entries as unknown as these
   are only listed in /proc/mtab in newer kernels. As updatedb
   didn't ignore unknown file system types it tried to run
   find on automounted directories.

   This update makes find to use /proc/mtab and updatedb to
   ignore directories with unknown file system type.
