I followed the instructions here to install safe-launcher and the installation completed without error. But there does not seem to be an executable available to launch. Running $ locate safe-launcher returns:
/usr/share/doc/safe-launcher
/usr/share/doc/safe-launcher/changelog.gz
/var/cache/apt/archives/safe-launcher_0.8.0_amd64.deb
/var/lib/dpkg/info/safe-launcher.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/safe-launcher.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/safe-launcher.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/safe-launcher.postrm
Any ideas what the problem might be?

Hi @tmciver
This should get fixed in the next release, but for now you have to run safe_launcher.
See this post for more details:
This is a very good point and is probably an oversight in the debian package setup process.
Should be correctible easy tho by having the symlink in /usr/bin called safe-launcher for debian which can then point to the internal binary /opt/maidsafe/safe_launcher/safe_launcher
Will certainly keep a note of this to correct it for future debian packages without which it does make it quite confusing. Sorry for that mess there.
EDIT: I also updated the documentation to make this clearer.
