Public bug reported:
The /etc/cron.daily/locate script runs as wrong user. In the package the
line says LOCALUSER="nobody" but it should be LOCALUSER="root" because
if the "updatedb" script runs as nobody a lot of files can't be indexed
because nobody hasn't the right to view all system files.
The information I should provide regarind the guidelines
