[olug] cron

[Drazak]

On my system, updatedb is a symlink to slocate.  Try the slocate-2.0-3 (or
similar rpm).  

You can use rpm to gain a lot of this information yourself.  For example,
rpm -q <filename> will tell you what package it is part of.  After you
find the package, rpm -ql <package> will give you the contents of it.
