Miles,

Could you please confirm that installing locate solves the problem for
you as well? Please try with the latest texmacs version in Unstable. I
am asking because this bug is reported well before locate was split
off from the findutils package. At that time, findutils should have
already been installed on your machine. So just wanted to confirm that
this indeed is the problem.

Yes. Texmacs appears to rely on locate. But now the problem is that
there are three versions of locate (locate, mlocate, slocate). Which
one should we go with? To facilitate the transition, we can use
something similar to

Depends: locate | findutils (<< 4.2.31-2)

as is followed in dlocate package.

thanks
raju
