Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mlocate

I built a database file using updatedb. I then unmounted the drive and tried to 
search that file using the command
sudo locate -d extwd -i *.mp3

This yielded no results. By chance I tried the exact same command later
and it worked because the drive was mounted. It appears as though the -e
option were being implemented.

Please see this thread for reference:

I'm using Ubuntu 64-bit 9.04.
version of mlocate: 0.21.1

Thank you.
