Re: locate something not exist

2011-04-28 Thread Huang, Tao 
off-topic:

mlocate have some advantages over locate.
it does a partial scan on modified files only, which makes it's
updatedb much faster and disk friendly.

u may already be using it if u have it installed,
since mlocate has a higher score in the update-alternatives system
than the original locate.


Cheers,

Tao

If you are unable to run updatedb, use 'locate -e' when searching. Then
only the names of files which still exist will be printed.

Re: locate something not exist

2011-04-27 Thread teddieeb 

I believe you need to run

#updatedb

If I am not mistaken (updatedb may work for different search command if memory 
is faulty) 

But if I'm not mistaken, updatedb will refresh the database locate uses to find 
results...

Hi,

when I located fglrx

which has been purged,

but it still showed me lots
such as

/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-glx.preinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-modules-dkms.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-modules-dkms.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-modules-dkms.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-modules-dkms.prerm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-source.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-source.md5sums
/var/lib/update-rc.d/fglrx-atieventsd

when I checked further, found

# more /var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-source.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-source.md5sums: No such file or directory
# more /var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-driver.preinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-driver.preinst: No such file or directory
# more /etc/modprobe.d/fglrx-driver.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/fglrx-driver.conf: No such file or director

so the "locate" has some problems?
