Topic

Updated mlocate packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise 6.

Description

The mlocate packages provide a locate/updatedb implementation. Mlocate keeps a
database of all existing files and allows you to look up files by name.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, the locate(1) manual page contained a misprint. This

update corrects the misprint. (BZ#690800)

  • Prior to this update, the mlocate tool aborted the "updatedb" command if an

incorrect filesystem implementation returned a zero-length file name. As a
consequence, the locate database was not be updated. This update detects invalid
zero-length file names, warns about them, and continues to the locate database.
(BZ#699363)

All users of mlocate are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
