Package: mlocate
Version: 0.26
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
If I run
mlocate abcde
I am returned a short list of files, with obvious omissions. 19 files in my
real-world example
If I run
mlocate -b abcde
I am returned a longer list of files; 194 files in my real world example
If I run
mlocate --wholename abcde
I am returned 1780 files.
mlocate's action without either -b or --wholename is completely broken.
mlocate should default to either -b or to --wholename
The default behaviour should be documented in the man page.
