pkg_locate uses a database populated with all files from ports (installed packages or not). locate uses a database populated with updatedb, and it contains only files installed on filesystem (it is updated weekly). so pkg_locate bsd.rd searchs if a file "bsd.rd" exists in some port (installed or not); whereas locate bsd.rd searchs if a file "bsd.rd" exists in current filesystem. -- Sebastien Marie
