Description Wonko 2005-03-25 19:00:22 UTC 
updatedb ignores the PRUNEPATHS setting in /etc/updatedb.conf on one of my systems. It is working fine on others, though, all running version 2.7-r7 of slocate.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set PRUNEPATHS="/" in /etc/updatedb.conf
2. updatedb


Actual Results:  
updatedb indexes all files (but honours the PRUNEFS setting).

Expected Results:  
updatedb should finish in less than one second because nothing should be indexed.
