7.1.4. Enabling the slocate Database
The database needed by the locate utility is no longer created by
default. Enable the database creation by setting DAILY_UPDATE to yes in
/etc/updatedb.conf if you want to use locate.
This is not correct any more, mlocate's updatedb actually terminates
with an error if such a variable is defined in /etc/updatedb.conf.

The updatedb.conf file did not look anything close to what the reference
in the release notes described. I left the file untouched.
As a correction to running locate immediately after firstboot with
results, it appears that my sysyem had to be on longer than that for the
database to update. mlocate now runs updatedb daily. References to
slocate in any documentation should be removed, except for historical or
comparative references.
cat /etc/cron.daily/mlocate.cron
#!/bin/sh
nodevs=$(< /proc/filesystems awk '$1 == "nodev" { print $2 }')
renice +19 -p $$ >/dev/null 2>&1
/usr/bin/updatedb -f "$nodevs"

Fundamentally, there may be no basis for anything.
