Installed application not really installed?!

Hi guys,
i got a very strange and annoying problem here. I installed handbrake with pacman w/o any errors but it doenst show up anywhere.
locate gives 0 results and there are no entrys of it anywhere.
Things i tried:
pacman -Scc
pacman-optimize
directly installed the pkg from ftp.archlinux.org
also there are no bugs about it and the pkgbuild looks fine to me

I experienced similar things with virtualbox from AUR, but i thought that was AUR related.
Halp plz:|

pacman -Ql lists files installed by a given package.

yes, -Ql will show you the binaries that handbrake installs.  this first thing i did was softlink a /usr/bin/handbrake.

mmh ok, so HandBrakeCLI is installed, but shouldnt there also be the gtk-one in the package included?

I found this thread because I was having the same problem.  If you haven't figured it out yet, or to make things easier for others who have the same problem, the gtk executable is located at /usr/bin/ghb.  I don't know why the developers decided to call the executable "ghb"--it seems like a pretty stupid idea to me.  The following command should set you straight:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ghb /usr/bin/handbrake

Lol, ghb ? For a moment I though it was GDB (gnu debugger) !
