-----------------------------------+---------------------
 I am running an old Apple Power Mac G5 with MacPorts version 2.4.1.

 I installed port "Secure Locate 3.1 - Released March 7, 2006"

 I have added one line in the updatedb.conf file in path /opt/local/etc/:
 PRUNEPATHS="/Volumes/Mac-Backup /Volumes/Data-Backup /tmp /private/tmp"

 To update the slocate database I run the following command:
 sudo /opt/local/bin/slocate -u -c /opt/local/etc/updatedb.conf

 However, slocate ignores PRUNEPATHS in updatedb.conf.

 Here is an example:

 roberts-power-mac-g5:~ robert$ ls /tmp

 .

 ..

 com.hp.launchport  launch-Sx1bOr      launchd-395.Fg6U5B

 launch-QyRnb3      launch-WjqTJg


 roberts-power-mac-g5:~ robert$ slocate launch-Sx1bOr

 /private/tmp/launch-Sx1bOr

 /private/tmp/launch-Sx1bOr/Listeners


 I search for launch-Sx1bOr, slocate shows it found in /etc/ and
 /private/tmp/ which path is in PRUNEPATHS.


 I have also tested with my external hard drive attached, paths:
 /Volumes/Mac-Backup /Volumes/Data-Backup.

 Slocate update includes both /Volumes/Mac-Backup and /Volumes/Data-Backup
 which is in PRUNEPATHS.

 I have had a search on the net but there is very little information
 available.
 Is this a bug or a mis-configuration of the updatedb.conf?
