Any thoughts? Have I discovered a bug with mlocate-updatedb.timer or mlocate-updatedb.service?

Just now I disabled mlocate-updatedb.timer and added an entry to root's crontab (using 'crontab -e'):


SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/

...

minute hour * * * /usr/libexec/mlocate-run-updatedb

I set hour to the current hour and minute to one minute in the future, then I waited for the time to occur, checked to see if /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db showed a new timestamp, and ran 'locate bin/myth'. Files under /usr/bin were included. Compare with the mlocate-updatedb.timer method: files under /usr/bin are omitted.

To work around this issue, I've disabled mlocate-updatedb.timer and will use crontab instead.
