This is not a solution to the bug. I want it to cooperate with mlocate
and use mlocate database.
The problem is NOT that /etc/cron.daily/dlocate needs ionice, because it
only reads the /var/lib/dpkg/*.list files (AFAIR), the problem is that
even with ionice the updatedb of locate trashes the file cache. mlocate
is much better in this since it reuses the last database ...
Best wishes
