Hi,
As of bookworm, mlocate no longer exists in Debian and is replaced by plocate.
There's still an “mlocate” package, but it is only a transitional package
to install plocate (and convert over the old database).
Thus, I'm closing a series of bugs related to mlocate that I believe are
either:
1. Already fixed in plocate, or
2. Related to implementation bugs in mlocate that are highly unlikely
to reappear in plocate (which only shares configuration parsing code,
no other internals).
If you believe this is in error and the bug is relevant for plocate,
please reopen it with a message as of why that is the case (and reassign it
to plocate). Thanks!
