12.3 Error Messages From 'locate'
=================================
'warning: database '/var/cache/locate/locatedb' is more than 8 days old'
The 'locate' program relies on a database which is periodically
built by the 'updatedb' program. That hasn't happened in a long
time. To fix this problem, run 'updatedb' manually. This can
often happen on systems that are generally not left on, so the
periodic "cron" task which normally does this doesn't get a chance
to run.
'locate database '/var/cache/locate/locatedb' is corrupt or invalid'
This should not happen. Re-run 'updatedb'. If that works, but
'locate' still produces this error, run 'locate --version' and
'updatedb --version'. These should produce the same output. If
not, you are using a mixed toolset; check your '$PATH' environment
variable and your shell aliases (if you have any). If both
programs claim to be GNU versions, this is a bug; all versions of
these programs should interoperate without problem. Ask for help
on <bug-findutils@gnu.org>.
