Brian:
When the slocate package is installed, it essentially replaces the 'locate' functionality in findutils. It diverts findutils version of /etc/cron.daily/find to /etc/cron.daily/find.notslocate to prevent it from running (cron jobs with a dot in the name do not run). Slocates own /etc/cron.daily/slocate replaces this functionality. Since the script included with slocate is not broken (at least in this regard), anyone who has slocate installed is essentially unaffected by this bug.
