Hello, I disagree that a expecting a *working* locate is reasonable. Most systems have a updatedb/locate *binaries installed, but many disable the db generation. > I am aware of > course that findutils already provides one implementation, and it's > Priority: required...

The latter still has not made it into even a development release, though. Just as a data-point, not argueing against a better, existing implementation. ;-) cu and--reas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
