My plocate.db is in /var/lib/plocate/, as is bookworm's. Is that changing in the future? $ ls -l /var/lib/*locate/ /var/lib/mlocate/: total 19344 -rw-r----- 1 root mlocate 19807421 Aug 28 07:43 mlocate.db /var/lib/plocate/: total 20632 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 183 Nov 17 2021 CACHEDIR.TAG -rw-r----- 1 root plocate 21121629 Dec 16 16:06 plocate.db $ Cheers, David.
