I am receiving this error when I try to use the command updatedb:

however locate does seem to work although how old the database is unknown
any help with this would be appreciated.
It seems that I am also having the same problem. I ran updatedb in
verbose mode and the error comes with the same folder everytime. A
listing of the folder gives strange output. Output from my terminal below.
/sys/module/nousb/parameters
updatedb: src/updatedb.c:721: scan_cwd: Assertion `name_size > 1' failed.

[root@marvin parameters]# file /sys/module/nousb/parameters

-????????? ? ? ? ? ?

I tried rpm -qf to determine which package creates the folder but it
says that the file is not owned by the package.
Can you run updatedb -v and check if the result is similar/identical?
Yes this is the same place my run of updatedb is exiting. Same error as you
with the same directory.

Can anybody else on the list verify this? What I would like to know is
the contents of the directory. Listing the directory gives me strange
output.
