Hi Michael, This change was deliberate and is documented; see this note in /usr/share/doc/findutils/NEWS.Debian.gz:
findutils (4.2.31-2) unstable; urgency=low * locate is no longer included in the findutils package. It has been split off to a separate package "locate". (There are alternative implementations available, too; see mlocate or slocate.) -- Andreas Metzler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sat, 2 Jun 2007 10:53:46 +0200 And as your bug report shows, findutils now suggests "mlocate | locate | slocate". That said, I agree that silently losing your locate utility during an upgrade is a bad thing, and would probably confuse a lot of people. As such, I wonder if the findutils maintainer should change this Suggests to Recommends, at least for Lenny. -- graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
