Package: dlocate
Version: 0.5-0.2
Severity: normal
dlocate(1) returns 0 even if the search is not successful. An Example:
# dlocate /etc/profile
# echo $?
0
However, this is wrong. It makes the program unusable for normal chaining
"Try something else, if failed". Like here:
dlocate $file ||
dpkg -S $file ||
grep $file /var/lib/dpkg/info/* ||
...
The code never enters like dpkg(1) which would continue if the previous
search did not succeed.
