Package: slocate
Version: 3.0.beta.r3-1
Severity: important

When LOCATE_PATH is not set, slocate can read the default database:

dixsept:~> slocate bin/browser
/home/vlefevre/bin/browser
/home/vlefevre/greux/bin/browser

But not when it is set:

dixsept:~> LOCATE_PATH=/users/spaces/vlefevre/private/locate/home.db slocate 
bin/browser
slocate: fatal error: Could not obtain information on database file 
'/var/lib/slocate/slocate.db': Permission denied
zsh: exit 1     LOCATE_PATH=/users/spaces/vlefevre/private/locate/home.db 
slocate bin/browser

Moreover, the -d option doesn't work:

dixsept:~> slocate -d /users/spaces/vlefevre/private/locate/home.db bin/browser
dixsept:~>

whereas with slocate 2.7:

tate:~> slocate -d /users/spaces/vlefevre/private/locate/home.db bin/browser
/users/spaces/vlefevre/bin/browser
tate:~>
