Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mlocate
The package findutils once moved /var/lib/locate to /var/cache/locate,
witness the following comment in /var/lib/dpkg/info/findutils.postinst:
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
# up to 4.1.7-2 locatedb was in non-FHS-dir /var/lib/locate
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le-nl "4.1.7-2" ; then
if [ -f /var/lib/locate/locatedb ]; then
mv /var/lib/locate/locatedb /var/cache/locate/
rmdir /var/lib/locate 2>/dev/null || true
The same should apply to mlocate.
I'm using 0.18-2ubuntu1 on a system upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy (release).
