Hi Craig, Thank you very much for your prompt response.
| works for me: [. . .] | did you just install gstreamer0.10-plugins-base? if so, then | dlocate's listing of installed files won't be updated until | dlocate's daily cron job runs (you can run it yourself as root - | /etc/cron.daily/dlocate) Ugh. You are absolutely right! I'm sorry for bothering you. But, since I've been already bothering you, :-) I'm wondering if this issue could be regarded as a "wishlist" item. I have a few suggestions. 1. Document the necessity of cron in "man dlocate". 2. The package installer of each Debian package update the dlocate database. (May not be feasible.) 3. The dlocate command update its database if the latter is older than the most recent package install. (May not be feasible.) 4. Run a little daemon that monitors dpkg/apt/aptitude databases and if it finds any changes, it update the dlocate database. (May be overkill. May not be feasible.)
