I did install that at your earlier suggestion but it seemed a bit

something pure dead simple like me. Guess I will have to go with it
if slocate has gone.
Slocate was replaced as the default in 2007.0 by mlocate.
Commands is "locate" and still use "updatedb"
If after trying you still prefer slocate be sure you have a contrib
source defined and urpmi slocate.
That will remove mlocate and install slocate.

I installed mlocate, which required the removal of slocate and all is
well. updatedb is blazingly fast. Unless it used information from
elsewhere on the system it went from an empty database to a complete one
in a split second.
Thanks again
