Steinar, > Are you in a position to try latest git?
Yes ... plocate - Debian Package Tracker: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/plocate says: says "VCS: unknown". Could you add Vcs fields to the control file? I downloaded and built the following snapshots from git.sesse.net: * plocate-e60bf48 - Operation not supported * plocate-2ce489a - Good! * plocate-967b90d - Good! Thank you! Dan Urbana, Illinois
