I could probably find more examples.
Your examples are specious - they require user/administrator intervention to gain information they cannot know, or for specific config options. Locate, on the other hand, can (and does) get all the information it needs from its installation package and the contents of the computer's filesystem(s).
And the OP, knowing that? No, my comments were ironic not specious. As you say, 'locate' shouldn't need user intervention the way the examples I gave do. But the OP asserted that it did. <quote>
Are there other rpms that install applications that won't do anything useful without doing something else first? I can't think of any I've run across, either ever, or a very long time. </quote>
