update-dlocatedb updates the files listing only. it doesn't update the
package listing. this is not a bug, it's a feature - i use it to compare
the difference between what 'dlocate -l' says and what 'dpkg -l' says
after an upgrade, so i can easily get a diff of what has chanegd.
if you want to force dlocate to update the pkg listing as well as the
files listing, then run the cron script:
/etc/cron.daily/dlocate
this is the second or third time this question has come up, so i'll
leave this bug report in the BTS to remind me to re-do the way this
works. will change it to have three command line options:
-p, --packages update package list only
-f, --files update files list only
-b, --both update both (will probably make this the default)
