It appears (from the existence of /etc/cron.weekly/slocate.cron) that the 
slocate database, in 9.0 beta 2, is updated weekly and at extremely low 
priority.

1. Am I mistaken in believing that, in 8.2, it was updated daily?

2. I suggest that a weekly update is far too infrequent (certainly at cooker 
time, but probably also for normal use).

The trigger for all this was unexpectedly feeble results for a package I had 
installed a few days ago; redoing the command following a slocate -u from the 
command line gave what I was expecting.
