Title:
  mlocate can't search from database file for unmounted drive

Status in “mlocate” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mlocate

  I built a database file using updatedb. I then unmounted the drive and tried to search that file using the command
  sudo locate -d extwd -i *.mp3

  This yielded no results. By chance I tried the exact same command
  later and it worked because the drive was mounted. It appears as
  though the -e option were being implemented.

  Please see this thread for reference:

  I'm using Ubuntu 64-bit 9.04.
  version of mlocate: 0.21.1

  Thank you.
