Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: slocate
When slocate is installed it puts a crontab entry into /etc/cron.daily/slocate.
This script does a check to see if /usr/bin/mlocate is available and does not
run if that file is found.
The problem is that both slocate and mlocate may be installed concurrently, and
the user may choose either mlocate or slocate using the update-alternatives(8)
subsystem.
The /etc/cron.daily/slocate crontab script needs to be changed to disregard
whether mlocate is installed.
The slocate and mlocate systems need to become aware of the
update-alternatives(8) subsystem and act according to that setting.
