Updatedb include the path pointed by symbolic link

I have created mlocate database with the contents of a particular folder. I see that the updatedb doesn't include the path pointed by the symbolic links in the database. How can I include the path pointed by the symbolic links in the database? **Surprisingly**: *mlocate* has a default option -L or --follow that follows trailing symbolic links when checking file existence (default). > What purpose does it serves when *updatedb* doesn't include symlinks! --- References: - [updatedb(8): update database for mlocate - Linux man page](https://linux.die.net/man/8/updatedb) - [mlocate - Gentoo Wiki](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mlocate)
