Hi, First, when you reply could you put me in Cc, please? Debian's BTS doesn't always send me a copy. :(

Unfortunately, I can't try strace since slocate is sgid slocate. And with "strace -u vlefevre -o strace.path slocate bin/browser" under root, the sgid bit isn't taken into account (I also get a permission denied even when LOCATE_PATH isn't set). In my case: dixsept:/home/vlefevre# ls -l /var/lib/slocate/ total 7116 -rw-r----- 1 root slocate 7273689 2006-01-20 06:26:33 slocate.db and -rw-r----- 1 vlefevre spaces 201089 2006-01-09 05:00:25 home.db for the other database. Note: having it readable by root doesn't change anything, I still get the error: slocate: fatal error: Could not obtain information on database file '/var/lib/slocate/slocate.db': Permission denied -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
