You are saying that the insecure mlocate supercedes the secure slocate and
there is no way to enable slocate if mlocate is installed.
Why doesn't the cron.daily script use the alternatives system if a user wants
to use the secure slocate program?
How is the user to use slocate, then?

Mr. Packard responded that changing the order of the files breaks the parsing
so it will not work, but didn't elaborate why or how.
In any case the order of the files matters but not in the way I was
thinking--higher numbers do not necessarily "supercede" lower numbers the way
the parsing works.

Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: slocate
When slocate is installed it puts a crontab entry into /etc/cron.daily/slocate.
This script does a check to see if /usr/bin/mlocate is available and does not
run if that file is found.
The problem is that both slocate and mlocate may be installed
This is a potential security issue since slocate is the reputed "secure"
version of "locate". When the user believes he or she is using the
"secure" locate after installing the slocate package, in reality they
are still using "mlocate" due to this bug.
This bug also affects package named "mlocate

Be advised that Debian bug 444697 "fixes" this bug by REMOVING libvnc.so.
And I quote:
"Removed libvnc.so that do not work with recent xorg. This is a workaround but
solves the grave fault, closes: #444697. No longer provides x0vnc-server."
This tacitly suggests that Xorg does not support libvnc.
This bug is extremely important.
Every single package that involves Defoma or installs a font does a fc-cache
regeneration when the package is installed.
Just like ldconfig defers its update until all is completed, please figure out
a way to defer fc-cache updates until all is completed.

What is strange is that when I disable the boot splash (editing

It appears to be a problem with the boot splash screen and possibly my Radeon

The problem is not with the LCD filter, it's whether the Ubuntu copy of
freetype is changing the autohint style. When choosing each of the four
options the fonts normally change their shapes in obvious ways. In
Ubuntu gutsy, only the "none" and "full" buttons make any difference.

Two issues in fontconfig 50-user.conf and 51-local.conf.
In /etc/fonts/conf.d there is a file named "50-user.conf" that loads the user's
own ~/.fonts.conf file.
There is also 51-local.conf that is supposed to load local configuration
elements
Errata:
The /etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf and /etc/fonts/conf.avail/50-user.conf
