A handy package to search through indexed files is mlocate which you will get bundled in a server or workstation installation of a Linux operating system.

The first time you will always get this error:

[root@puppetmaster manifests] locate "site.pp"
locate: can not stat () `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': No such file or directory

This means that the file mlocate.db is missing because the file index database has never been builded before.

Run this command to build the file index database:

[root@puppetmaster manifests] updatedb

You also can run this command to update the database.

Note that it could take a while to build the database.

While installing some program or package or library on your system, you can meet an error:

locate: can not stat () `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': No such file or directory

Locate: can not stat /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db: no such file or directory

Very often, problem is in out-of-date db. You can easily fix it running a command:

$ sudo updatedb

Locate: can not stat /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db: no such file or directory

Problem is solved!
