I know it's a philosophical and also emotional issue, but I can't understand
why we pull a nice package from the distibution because it doesn't work for
some people. I use dlocate very often, and it works perfectly for me, always
has been, and I wouldn't want to trade it for dpkg -l which is far too slow.
So it doesn't work for some people (for instance those using slocate instead
of locate), but it works for most, I presume, so why not leave it in there?
At work I have a machine where dpkg consumes hours. I think it's not usable
for me there, so I'll file an important bug, let's remove dpkg.
Bye,
Mike
