OK. That still makes it an interface. Interface lists aren't just a catalog of the files shipped in the package. > /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db is the index file which is be created by > package install post, cause it's group owner should be slocate which is > created by package install pre.

The new user and group are *also* interfaces. You should work with your case sponsor to come up with a complete set of materials. I suggest placing this case in "waiting need spec" state until those materials are available, because it's obviously not complete today, and thus can't be a fast-track. > > Isn't updatedb normally used only in a cron job entry?
