I still get the same ridiculous thing (after reflashing) when
apt-get install locate

OK, so the locate package is coming from the SDK! Are you sure this is what you want?

This package depends, among others, on the SDK-version of libc6, which might be different from the one installed on the N9.

If you remove the existing libc6 I bet the whole system goes down with it, as basically *everything* depends on that.

Welcome to the wonderful world of package management, or dependency hell if you prefer that term.

You have four options:
1. Leave locate for now,
2. Recompile it using the SDK and package it as a "proper" package,
3. Wait for somebody to do (2) for you.
4. Download the .deb and force dpkg it. It may or may not work.

The problem is with the Harmattan SDK repository which is not intended to be use on Nokia N9/N950. Some packages work from this repository, other don't, because of dependencies problems.

TeXLive doesn't work, look at :

http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=5090

So be careful when installing packages from Harmattan SDK.

I think I will leave locate for now, perhaps if I have time I will compile it from the source code. I was more concerned about the issue, rather than worried so much about locate, but if this kind of thing is a common problem with the Harmattan SDK and we don't need to report it then I won't worry about it.

Thanks all for the help with the problem
