Package: mlocate
Version: 0.21.1-1
Severity: normal
mlocate conflicts slocate, but slocate has been renamed to locate. This
means it is possible to have both packages installed, which does not
make sense and will update two seperate databases every night.

dlocate doesn't depend on locate in wheezy at least, and packages should
generally just depend on the real locate version they need, I think.
