Don't know if you figured this out yet.  There's another command 
packaged with dlocate: "update-dlocatedb" which will get it functional.  
It's man page says it's usually called from cron.daily  but I don't know 
how to check and see if it is automatically set up that way.  <sigh> 
more reading . . .
