Thanks for Michael's response. I think your point is correct.
However, I did 'rpm --setperms slocate' and got the following message:
sh: package: command not found
I tried to reinstall the slocate package yesterday, but accidentally
removed the old package. The following was what I did:
#rpm -e slocate-2.6-1.i386.rpm
#rpm -ivh slocate-2.6-1.i386.rpm

1:slocate error: unpacking of archie failed on file /usr/bin/slocate:
cpio: rename failed - Operation not permitted
I also appreciate Kevin's response.
