warning: locate: warning: database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' is more than 8 days old

How can that error be corrected? :o

I tried running dbupdate, but that does not do anything for some reason,

root@host # updatedb



Thats all there is.

try
locate -u

if you use locate often, you can create a cronjob to update it every night... or every (period of time) you want ;)

Running updatedb should be all thats needed. The cron job exists, but is commented out by default because 90% dont need it. See /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron
