Package: slocate
Version: 3.1-1.1
Severity: minor

The manpage of updatedb (which came with slocate) mentions /etc/updatedb.conf:

CONFIGURATION FILE
       Secure   Locate's   updatedb  will  automatically  parse  GNU  Locate's
       /etc/updatedb.conf.  But please be aware that Secure  Locate  currently
       does  NOT  support  all  options provided by GNU Locate's configuration
       file.

       Options currently supported by Secure Locate are PRUNEFS and PRUNEPATHS

This is not sufficient to actually write an updatedb.conf file. So I
discovered that this box had no updatedb.conf manpage. With the help
of apt-file I could locate (sic!) such a manpage in the mlocate package.

Maybe this could be reflected in the dependencies?

Thanks,

The slocate package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/457565 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.

Kind regards,
