[Bug 863826] [NEW] mlocate picks up encrypted files

[gpk]

Public bug reported:

When I run "locate .r", I get thousands of encrypted files:

/home/.ecryptfs/gpk/.Private/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWbwQiP0bs7CTkTXJOzT4aa6UJ5koNJK-KTU6BFIY.v6QbtLvphbNinh1U--/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FXbwQiP0bs7CTkTXJOzT4aa6UJ5koNJK-KTUsWmsHnIZ7PpuC-lOdLWDfvcYC.0DrJ7eacDzYYgGkFA-/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWbwQiP0bs7CTkTXJOzT4aa6UJ5koNJK-KTU8iMfdxDbMcjJy3azpP0IjU--/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FXbwQiP0bs7CTkTXJOzT4aa6UJ5koNJK-KTUnqOJZummIMMpNdxKaLavPDmtoAnK-NX0zRlcR44HRK--/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWbwQiP0bs7CTkTXJOzT4aa6UJ5koNJK-KTUAkDeGBLuFWQCg.LP5pZtVk--/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWbwQiP0bs7CTkTXJOzT4aa6UJ5koNJK-KTUQshHGMWwOSre.rkQlZWU3U--

...and so forth.   Clearly, updatedb is running amok, looking at the
encrypted form of my disk.  (I took the Ubuntu option to encrypt my home
directory).     I presume this happens when I leave my machine on
overnight and I am not logged in.     When not logged in, my disk is
probably encrypted, but updatedb scans it anyway...
