Ok…so I have a coworker, and we are buddies and everything… but I’ll be damned if I’m not often astounded by the lack of understanding of certain things.
There are some things that I just know, and I guess I expect other people to know. But when I say something as matter a fact, and the others response is “it shouldn’t”. WTF am I to think?
I KNOW that updatedb and locate and the entire slocate suite have absolutely nothing to do with resolving dynamic library links. Running updatedb is not going to change any ld/ldd behaviour. A response of “it shouldn’t” to these facts simply shows ones lack of knowledge, and it is disappointing.
