slocate 2.6-1.3.3 fails to install

["Thijs Kinkhorst" <kink@squirrelmail.org>]

Hello people,

When upgrading to the recent slocate security update, it fails to install
on one of my woody systems. It installs on my other systems, but I can't
find where the problem is. I get the following messages. Any help in
resolving this is appreciated.

Regards,
