Could well be ... but 'locate' shows me this:
aruna@debian:~$ locate Makefile.normal /usr/src/open-vm-tools-9.4.6/vmci/Makefile.normal /var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/9.4.6/build/vmci/Makefile.normal
Note that 'locate' doesn't actually walk through the file system, it greps through a file created by 'updatedb' which usually gets run from a crontab entry. As a result, 'locate' can report the existence of files that have actually been removed after the last updatedb run.
