2240	Findutils-4.4.0 Testsuite failure	Trent Shea	lfs-book@…	"The following failure appears:
FAIL: old_prefix: locate failed, /root/findutils-4.4.0/locate/testsuite/../locate: `tmp/locatedb': No such file or directory

It looks like there are a couple of ways to avoid the failure one is to bump Gawk ahead in chapter six, as mentioned by Greg Schafer:
http://www.diy-linux.org/pipermail/diy-linux-dev/2008-April/001219.html

Another would be to append "":/tools/bin"" to PATH in locate/updatedb.sh

I've done what I can to confirm that the second approach has no unexpected results. To do so I built findutils twice with the same commands. The first build was with the edit and between builds I moved the installed files.

After which I ran:

{{{
bash-3.2# diff -r tmp_edit tmp_noedit
diff -r tmp_edit/bin/updatedb tmp_noedit/bin/updatedb
229c229
< PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:${BINDIR}:/tools/bin; export PATH
---
> PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:${BINDIR}; export PATH
bash-3.2#
}}}


There's probably a better way to include the /tools/bin path temporarily, but I thought I'd get this out there, in case anyone wants to keep the package build in the same order."	defect	closed	normal	6.4	Book	SVN	minor	fixed
