Wrong. |

One can (well, could) only have one of slocate and mlocate installed at |
| 17 |
any given time. Whichever one is installed owns /etc/updatedb.conf, |
| 18 |
unless both have been unmerged and the file is a remnant, but it cannot |
| 19 |
be owned by both. Moreover, slocate has been deleted from the main |
| 20 |
Portage tree, so it doesn't own anything any more. |
