No idea why this was assigned as bacula. Reassigned to mlocate.

Comment 3 Miloslav Trmač 2008-02-13 14:22:23 UTC

Thanks for your report.  This bug is already tracked as #242715.

> Fix: add "/sys/module/nousb" to PRUNEPATH in /etc/updatedb.conf
That doesn't really fix the underlying bug.  A better workaround is to run
(/etc/cron.daily/mlocate.cron) instead of updatedb.
