Thanks, that worked indeed, and also took much longer to run instead of just a few seconds: [0] 10:59 cbe@lehmann:~ master $ sudo updatedb [0] 11:20 cbe@lehmann:~ master $ locate myon2.jpg /home/cbe/myon2.jpg I had not touched plocate after it got automatically installed as mlocate replacement. In fact I have this problem on three different bookworm machines (out of 3 I use), and only on one of them I got it working after trying to poke around with permissions on the database file, and probably deleting it once during fiddling around. Installing it on a bullseye machine Just Worked when I tried it now. Christoph
