So you can use either locate, mlocate, slocate ... but you need to
install them as a separate package.

Unfortunately dlocate doesn't work with slocate and needs locate,
which conflicts with the current version of slocate (bug 451792).
My current choice is to keep the latest findutils version that has
the locate utility.
