An strace shows the following:
rename("/var/cache/app-info/xapian/default", "/var/cache/app-
info/xapian/default_old") = -1 EXDEV (Invalid cross-device link)
Doing "sudo mv /var/cache/app-info/xapian/default /var/cache/app-
info/xapian/default_old" followed by "sudo mv /var/cache/app-
info/xapian/default_old /var/cache/app-info/xapian/default" makes it
work thereafter.
