Details

after a new installation if you try to run command updatedb you got this error:

warning: updatedb: could not open database: /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db: No such file or directory
warning: updatedb: Could not find the group: slocate in the /etc/group file.
fatal error: This is a result of the group missing or a corrupted group file.

to resolv the problem you have to add the group 'slocate' to the system. I thinks that this operation should be done by .install script of slocate pkg
This task depends upon

Actually, it is done by the install scriptlet. We used to have a bug like this, but it was fixed long ago, and I am unable to reproduce it on my test boxes.
