If it doesn't work now, what do you have to loose.....
Try to have the old rpm on hac though!


Okay I seemed to have fixed it, if at least temporarily by downloading the
current version and installing from source.

I replaced my current /usr/bin/slocate with the newly compiled one and
re-updated my database and the problem went away.

ftp://ftp.geekreview.org/slocate/src/slocate-2.6.tar.gz

is the version I just installed.

Thanks for the help everyone.
