Hello

I always use locate. But now its seems bugged or corrupted. I have tried to reinstall but no success.
When I try updatedb, the following message is displayed:

Are you sure you are using the standard locate package?

it's not 'locate' - it's 'glocate' and 'gupdatedb' - though you could alias these back to their more regular names if desired.

Installing the locate package doesn't work out of the box, you need to edit /usr/bin/gupdatedb and change (probably line 208)

Change:
: ${find:=${BINDIR}/find}

To:
: ${find:=${BINDIR}/gfind}

Make sure you've installed findutils-gnu

Then it'll work. Busybox is a bit of an abomination.

It worked!!! Thank you very much
