[Bug 1752148] Re: Search with diacritics / accents / spaces characters

[Steve Langasek]

Debian has moved from mlocate to the independent plocate codebase for
performance reasons and we are following suit in Ubuntu 22.04.
Unfortunately the patch for transliteration support is non-trivial to
port and I am dropping it as part of the plocate takeover of the mlocate
package.  I am therefore opening a bug task on plocate for this issue
since the package is now affected.

An updated patch that applies against plocate would be welcome.
