THIS IS REPAIRED-corrected TEXT WITH THE SAME BUG. JUST READ THIS AND IGNORE MAIL ABOVE (BEFORE) [this mail].

Debian Sarge.
I have just uninstalled slocate but it was working this way:

A) OK, this way should it work
[EMAIL PROTECTED] slocate mydata
.../mydata/...
.../mydata.doc

B)we rename $dir
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mv mydata herdata

C)we try it again renamed-$DIR is missing in search results
[EMAIL PROTECTED] slocate mydata
.../mydata.doc
[.../mydata/... WAS MISSING]

D)but root sees it!
[EMAIL PROTECTED] slocate mydata
.../mydata/...
.../mydata.doc

E)renaming BACK
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mv herdata mydata

F) as at begining user sees it as before - everything is OK.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] slocate mydata
.../mydata/...
.../mydata.doc



I think C) should be (working) the same (way) as A) or F) or D). Or IF NOT, so:
D)-root  should be (working) the same (way) as C)-user



Thanks for slocate & Debian.
