[Bug 2033273] Re: package mlocate 0.26-3ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: new mlocate package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Jim Cheetham]

I removed mlocate by hand after the upgrade process finished ('apt
--fix-broken install' didn't achieve anything), and things seem fine
now.
