I don't use quotas... My msec is at 2 .... and my locate db is 2.6 megs. I'd remove it completely and urpmi the app again. There are no unusual dependencies. (or a least none that if something was missing wouldn't really mess up your box.) If /var/log/messages is clean, I'd lean toward urpme then urpmi as the solution here. James
