findutils includes global paths (/usr/bin/locate & /usr/bin/updatedb)

  • 1.  findutils includes global paths (/usr/bin/locate & /usr/bin/updatedb)

    Posted Wed January 04, 2023 05:00 AM
    Hi OSS-team,

    is it possible to remove the global paths (/usr/bin/locate & /usr/bin/updatedb) from findutils? As I understood is the strategy to centralize all OSS-Files in /opt/freeware.

    This is fixed in 4.9.0 version released sometime back in November.
