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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 242715 ***
