Hi,
dlocate actually depends on findutils (<< 4.2.31-2).

The version in unstable/testing however is 4.2.33-1 resp. 4.2.32-1, which
makes your package uninstallable. No, findutils can't be removed, as it is
essential.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ # dpkg --no-act --purge findutils
dpkg: error processing findutils (--purge):
This is an essential package - it should not be removed.
Errors were encountered while processing:
findutils
Thanks,
Hilmar
P.S.: there are a lot of bugs on your package having the tag "fixed", but
were never closed.

Correct: I'm sorry! I was confused by the fact that an upgrade of
findutils deinstalled dlocate. However after doing this I could
re-install dlocate again. Was some weirdness by apt -> closing. If
you think this is a bug in apt, feel free to open a bug there.
Have a nice weekend!
