Inability to update in test1 is cited in the annoucement email that went out.
which also refers people to:

Please understand that the release-notes are a living document with
the aim to encode the important information for the final release and
not ncessarily all the important information that a tester of the test
releases needs. It can't contain all the short-term problems with the
test releases. It's important to read the annoucement notice for test
releases as well, especially for last minute gotchas.

slocate was replaced by mlocate. The release-notes may need to be
re-worded a bit even though the instructions in that section are still
valid. File a bug against the release-notes.
