Package: plocate
Version: 1.1.0-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
here is a sequence of commands to demonstrate the problem:
- We start with a system with neither mlocate nor plocate and check that the
system is free of obsolete conffiles
# apt purge plocate mlocate
# dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep obsolete$
[nothing]
- Let's install mlocate and check our system
# apt install mlocate
# dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep obsolete$
[still nothing]
- Let's install plocate and check our system again
# apt install plocate
# dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep obsolete$
/etc/updatedb.conf 4e27fc332ba845aa2f5374afd3d0e90d obsolete
My expectation here would be to install both mlocate and plocate and have no
obsolete conffile on the system.
