Ack. (I assume that most people have the laptop on AC at least some of the time, so the db will get updated sooner or later. In the worst case, if the laptop is only charged while off or suspended, it would be necessary to remove the conditional.

That's a known-fixed bug. I didn't mention it because, well, it was considered a bug in mlocate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Zbyszek _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
