Here are relevant entries from the dpkg logs: 2007-12-12 12:28:27 upgrade findutils 4.2.31-1 4.2.31-3 # I think 4.2.31-3 was the one that kicked locate out of findutils 2007-12-12 12:33:47 install mlocate <none> 0.18-2 2007-12-14 10:48:55 install locate <none> 4.2.31-3 2007-12-14 10:48:57 upgrade dlocate 0.5-0.3 0.94 I got error messages around 7am on Dec 13 and 14 but not 15. Local time is -0800. I am not sure why locate was installed; I don't think I requested it explicitly. I thought locate and mlocate were alternatives. dlocate and locate are both marked as auto-installed. So it looks as if the problem was a feature of the old version of dlocate and/or an interaction with the various flavors of locate. If you agree that this was a problem with the old version of dlocate, then this can be closed as already fixed (and sorry for the noise). If you think there's more to it, I guess leave it open, and possibly reassign it. Thanks. Ross P.S. I didn't realize there was a fast alternative to dpkg -L and -S; I'll have to give it a try! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
