[gentoo-user] locate

[Martin S]

Just recently tried using

locate foo.conf | cd

to automagically move to the directory in which I've saved foo.conf
Of course it didn't work as you can't cd to /bar/foo.conf

I didn't find a way to dropping the actual file name from the result of
locate.
I did a brief google on locate, but didn't find a switch to drop the actual
file name from the result.

Can it be done, or if not what should I use to get the desired result?
