Installing port `findutils` does not seem to create any binaries

[Dmitri Zaitsev]

Hi Mojca and Richard,

Thank you for your the help!
The `contents` (also works as `content`) is really useful!

And renaming was a good idea as I can't use the new `glocate`
because  running  the new  `gupdatedb`  fails to generate db for an
unstated reason.  :((

Cheers,
Dmitri.
