Hi,
I'm trying to run updatedb and keep getting this error message:
$ updatedb
/usr/bin/find: error in /etc/mtab: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts:
No such file or directory
Host system is Win2kSP2, Cygwin 1.3.12 (not a full installation, e.g. no X):
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 RHINO 1.3.12(0.54/3/2) 2002-07-06 02:16
i686 unknown
A perusal of the /usr/bin/updatedb script yields no references to
'/etc/mtab'; /etc/mtab does not exist in any case.
According to setup.exe the version of Findutils I have installed is 4.1.7-4.
If I create an empty '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts' directory updatedb runs and
creates a locatedb.
I see from searching the mailing list archives there have been some other
problems with updatedb[0], perhaps this is related.
0. "/usr/bin/find: /foo/.. changed during execution of
/usr/bin/find"
cheers,
