I believe you need to run

#updatedb

If I am not mistaken (updatedb may work for different search command if memory 
is faulty) 

But if I'm not mistaken, updatedb will refresh the database locate uses to find 
results...

Subject: locate something not exist

Hi,

when I located fglrx

which has been purged,

but it still showed me lots
such as

/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-glx.preinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-modules-dkms.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-modules-dkms.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-modules-dkms.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-modules-dkms.prerm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-source.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-source.md5sums
/var/lib/update-rc.d/fglrx-atieventsd

when I checked further, found

# more /var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-source.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-source.md5sums: No such file or directory
# more /var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-driver.preinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-driver.preinst: No such file or directory
# more /etc/modprobe.d/fglrx-driver.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/fglrx-driver.conf: No such file or director

so the "locate" has some problems?
