Package: findutils
Version: 4.1.20-6
Followup-For: Bug #67789
Would it be suitable to add some logic like this to the start of the
install process? (I'm sorry I don't know exactly where this goes)
8< - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
if [ -f /etc/updatedb.conf.dpkg-new -a -f /etc/updatedb.conf ]
then
PATCH_FILE=/etc/updatedb.conf.patch
diff /etc/updatedb.conf.dpkg-new /etc/updatedb.conf |
grep -C1 "^< PRUNEPATHS=" > ${PATCH_FILE}
echo -n '> PRUNEPATHS="' >> ${PATCH_FILE}
for DIR in $(
grep -h "^PRUNEPATHS=" /etc/updatedb.conf /etc/updatedb.conf.dpkg-new |
tr '"<=>' ' ')
do
if [ -d $DIR ]
then
ls -d $DIR
fi
done | sort -u | paste -s -d' ' | sed 's/$/"/g' >> ${PATCH_FILE}
patch /etc/updatedb.conf.dpkg-new < ${PATCH_FILE}
fi
8< - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hopefully with this in a majority of cases there would not be a change in
the PRUNEPATHS between the existing conf and the new install candidate so
it would not have to interactively prompt for confirmation on changing a
config file.
Otherwise, would it be suitable to refer to a /etc/updatedb.conf.local
along the lines of /etc/bind/named.conf using /etc/bind/named.conf.local ?
IHTH
