  * From memory *

  You can disable the cron job with
dpkg-divert --add --local --divert /etc/.cron.daily__slocate
--rename /etc/cron.daily/slocate

  Or run updatedb on a monthly basis :
dpkg-divert --add --local --divert /etc/cron.monthly/slocate
--rename /etc/cron.daily/slocate

  A local diversion will make sure dpkg will not recreate the file each
time it's being upgraded but will rename it instead.

  This page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackageManagementHowTo will present
some of the ubuntu package related tools.
