Bug Description

Kubuntu 14.04, new install
mlocate Installed: 0.26-1ubuntu1

Running "updatedb" does not include /home subdirectories in the file scan. Editing /etc/updatedb.conf and remarking out PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS="yes" results in a successful /home file scan. This behavior is a change from 13.10, where updatedb and updatedb.conf worked as expected.

I suspect this may be due to /home being a mounted btrfs subvolume. However, as I stated, this worked fine using 13.10.
