slocate does not create /etc/updatedb.conf

[Matt LaPlante]

Binary package hint: slocate

I just upgraded to hardy final, and I received an error message that updatedb was failing to run because it couldn't find /etc/updatedb.conf. Sure enough, it's not there. Wondering if this was just a quirk of the upgrade I did apt-get purge slocate, apt-get install slocate, but the file still isn't created. This would appear to make slocate inherently broken unless I'm missing something.

root@localhost:~# /etc/cron.daily/slocate
slocate: fatal error: load_file: Could not open file: /etc/updatedb.conf: No such file or directory

I get this bug too, I tried removing and reinstalling slocate, and I just tried installing locate. Still no luck.
