Package: findutils
Version: 4.2.28-1
Severity: normal

The updatedb script uses the PRUNEPATHS environment variable without
quoting it. This causes some problems when putting regular expressions
into the value of this variable. For example, if I use an asterisk (*)
in a path, it will be expanded by the shell before using it as a regular
expression. Thus, .*/lost+found becomes ../lost+found (and possibly others,
depending on how many files or directories, whose names start with a dot 
I have in the working directory).
