i'll just go check that out--

	$ man dlocate
	No manual entry for dlocate

hmm.

	# apt-get install dlocate
	Reading Package Lists... Done
	Building Dependency Tree... Done
	E: Couldn't find package dlocate

eh?

	$ lynx http://packages.debian.org/dlocate
	Search Results

	Release  Quality     Package (size)
	unstable  100%   dlocate 0.5   (6.8k)
	         fast alternative to dpkg -L and dpkg -S
	Responses 1-1 of 1 responses shown.

aha. it's in the UNSTABLE release only. i'd be able
to get that if i munged my sources.list to show
'unstable' instead of 'stable', and then i could do

	apt-get update

to refresh my package lists, and then

	apt-get install dlocate

would fetch and install it. but i think i'll keep
using dpkg -L and dokg -S for now...

thanks for the tip, tho!
