On mine updatedb runs 4 (FOUR) times a day!!! The history of my system's upgrades is: Warty->Hoary->Breezy->Dapper->Hardy. When I did the last upgrade, I had, and still have, dlocate installed (which depends on findutils' locate).
/etc/cron.daily/: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 419 2004-08-13 02:01 find -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 419 2006-03-20 07:25 find.notslocate.dpkg-new -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2205 2008-04-02 16:22 locate -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 183 2008-03-08 19:22 mlocate A diff on "find" and "find.notslocate.dpkg-new" says they are absolutely identical. And they both are useless, being obsolete. I don't need locale's updatedb cron-job, but need locale's frcode tool (required by dlocate, see LP#225419); so I can't uninstall locale and, as a bonus, get its updatedb. Of the 4 updatedb my system runs every day, the only needed is the one from mlocate.
