i'll just go check that out--

        $ man dlocate
        No manual entry for dlocate

hmm.

        # apt-get install dlocate

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!
