RE: [cobalt-users] locate corrupt database

["Michiel" <michiel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Trying deleting the database, it is located at:
/var/lib/slocate/slocate.db

Then execute updatedb&.

Also you could specify a new database at the command line of updatedb 
Read: man updatedb

as root - sometimes it gives a few lines of where it finds the info and
then
dies, sometimes it dies straight away - it is the more recent additions
to
the filesystem that are not showing. I had a partition full earlier and
that
could have caused it (?) - plenty of space now - but need to re-create
that
database wherever it is
