I'm trying to get fedora going, so I downloaded the
rpm for apt and synaptic and installed them. I think.
I ran rpm -i filename.
Then I tried "locate apt-get" and got nothing. And
"locate synaptic", also nothing. then I tried just
running apt-get, it worked.
Why is the locate command letting me down? How do I
find out where rpm installed synaptic?
locate uses a database that is rebuilt automatically once per day from
cron. It wont immediately know about changes to your filesystem. You
can force a rebuild of that database with "updatedb".
After a RPM package is installed, use the following command to list all
files within that package.
rpm -ql synaptic
