Package: plocate
Version: 1.1.18-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,
I am trying to get plocate to run on an old ARM-based NAS running Debian
bookworm. Building the database with updatedb works fine, but plocate
command itself blocks forever without giving any results back.
I attached gdb to the process, and the source of the problem appears to
be related to the use of io_uring.
Trying to understand what is going on, I ran plocate under strace as
root. Surprisingly, it ran without blocking.
The same behaviour was observed after self-compiling the latest plocate
(v1.1.21), which is why I am also tagging the issue for the upstream.
More details on the observed behaviour of plocate:
* blocks waiting some io_uring operation when run directly as root/user
* does not not block when run under strace as root
* reports an error for not being able to access the database when run
under strace as user (which sounds like the expected behaviour)
I recompiled the latest plocate with io_uring support disabled in
meson.build, and the program worked fine. Operation may be slower this
way, but at least it works.

Doing so, since there has been no activity for the last two months.
