Package: dlocate
Version: 1.12
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

dlocate cannot find recent files, so it is mostly useless.

I suspect that since the upgrade to dlocate 1.12 on 2022-11-25,
its database is no longer updated:

zira:~> ll /var/lib/dlocate
total 109172
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 55750318 2022-11-25 00:27:44 dlocatedb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 55623054 2022-11-14 09:47:51 dlocatedb.old
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   105318 2022-11-25 00:27:44 dlocatedb.stamps
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   299199 2022-11-25 00:27:44 dpkg-list

The changelog doesn't mention any change:

dlocate (1.12) unstable; urgency=medium

  * QA upload.
  * Convert to 3.0 source format. Closes: #1007667

The cron file /etc/cron.daily/dlocate is there, though:

#!/bin/sh

# update databases for both files and packages.
if [ -x /usr/sbin/update-dlocatedb ] ; then
  /usr/sbin/update-dlocatedb -b
fi
