It is my understanding that locate was removed and replaced with mlocate in the findutils bundle.
Today after the telemetry update, I no longer have locate on my system and I do not think mlocate has been installed… at least I can’t find it.
I tried to remove the findutils bundle to reinstall it, hoping that might bring in mlocate, however this bundle is required by many packages. How do I go about getting mlocate installed?
The change was intentional. If you want locate, please swupd bundle-add mlocate. You’ll need to run updatedb as root once to create the database. After that, it’ll update every day.
Note: the bundle update and the package update were out of sync. Release 30440 is missing the bundle update, but it’ll be in the next one.
