Bug#1055450: Plocate's database easily becomes corrupted, resulting in locate finding nothing

[Alain Knaff]

Package: plocate
Version: 1.1.18-1

Hi,
On 2 separate Debian 12 machines, I'm observing the following issue:

Search for a file that obviously exists returns nothing.

Running updatedb and then locate doesn't fix this.

Removing /var/lib/plocate/plocate.db, and then re-running updatedb does 
fix it... until the issue reappears again several days later.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Alain
