where have 'updatedb' and 'locate' gone?

chilebiker · 2012-01-31 20:25:47

I have installed another Arch linux on my machine just for fun (dualboot, one is for playing around and testing purposes). Now I can't find 'updatedb' or 'locate', even though the findutils are installed. Am I missing something?

mlocate

Install mlocate, it was removed from base/core or wherever it was well over a year ago hence needs to be manually installed

Wow, that was quick! Thank you both...

That link is slightly broken, (correct link now here) but I had the same question as OP, and this thread helped. Thanks all.
