Bug Description
Binary package hint: mlocate
This is with mlocate 0.22.2-1ubuntu in Ubuntu 10.04.1.
I ran locate on some all-too-common search string, and was surprised to see it list results such as:
/home/tv/
there is absolutely no value in indexing the encrypted form of those, and it just seems like a waste of cpu/disk/whatnot.
mlocate's inflexibility is problematic.. We can't do PRUNENAMES=

I mean PRUNENAMES=.Private
