https://bugzilla.arklinux.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=86

           Summary: "slocate" database not created on default install
           Product: Ark Linux
           Version: 1.0 alpha6
          Platform: i586 (PC, Intel)
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Low
           Affects: Overall Usability
         Component: slocate
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

Description of Problem:

The database used by the "locate" command is not initialized during the ArkLinux
installation procedure, and when "locate" is first run, the user needs to create
this database.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Secure Locate 2.1 - Released May 21, 2001



How Reproducible:

Reprodcible



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install ArkLinux 1.0 Alpha 6
2. Log in as user "arklinux"
3. Type "locate" at a command prompt
4. Error message indicates the issue


Actual Results:

warning: locate: could not open database: /var/libs/slocate/slocate.db: No such
file or directory
warning: The locate command requires the slocate database to have been generated.
warning: To create the slocate database now, and ensure regular scheduled updates
warning: of the database in future, run the 'updatedb-enable' command.
warning: Alternatively, run the 'updatedb' command (as root) to manually create
warning: the database once.


Expected Results:

The expected results would be something similar to:
/sbin/ifconfig


Additional Information:

The "updatedb-enable" command is located in the /usr/sbin/ directory, which is
not in the path environment of the "arklinux" user, and therefore is not easy
for many users to locate - mainly "home users".
