Hi,

man updatedb says "updatedb is usually run daily by cron(8) to update
the default database". But the updatedb on my ubuntu seems not
updating at all.

locate: warning: database `/var/cache/locate/locatedb' is more than 8 days old

Should I set up a cron job to let updatedb run regularly? Or there
should some other solutions?
