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.
If you power down your system daily, and it is off at the time `cron`
would run the job for `updatedb`, it doesn't get updated ---
UNLESS, you have `anacron` installed. `anacron` will run jobs that
should have run back at time xx:xx but were not because the system was
powered down.
