[luau] locate apt and synaptic after rpm -i?

[Michael_Bishop/FARRINCS/HIDOE at notes.k12.hi.us]

My simple understanding is you need to run updatedb to recreate the index
file that locate uses. "updatedb" I think can only be run as root. Good
luck.

Subject:    [luau] locate apt and synaptic after rpm -i?


I'm trying to get fedora going, so I downloaded the
rpm for apt and synaptic and installed them. I think.
I ran rpm -i filename.

Then I tried "locate apt-get" and got nothing. And
"locate synaptic", also nothing. then I tried just
running apt-get, it worked.

Why is the locate command letting me down? How do I
find out where rpm installed synaptic?

thanks,

TDB
