I thought we fixed that a while back - can you attach your
/etc/cron.daily/mlocate? Mine has this fragment:

if which on_ac_power >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    ON_BATTERY=0
    on_ac_power >/dev/null 2>&1 || ON_BATTERY=$?
    if [ "$ON_BATTERY" -eq 1 ]; then
        echo >&2 "System on battery power, not running updatedb."
        exit 1
    fi
fi

updatedb should be weekly, not daily
