cron calls 'updatedb' nightly at 4AM localtime, or it should. This
updates the database
where the list of everything is kept. That message means that
updatedb is not running for some reason, or that the slocate.db isn't
updating. Check the timestamp on it, check in /etc/cron.daily/ for
slocate.cron and make sure its executable and all that. Try running
the script as well as 'updatedb' and make sure both work properly.
slocate.db might also be corrupted, delete it outright and updatedb
to recreate it. (I wouldn't try editing it :)
