[lug] slocate.db.stf

Everyday for the past week I've been getting this e-mail from cron.daily:

/etc/cron.daily/slocate:
updatedb: fatal error: The temp file '/var/lib/slocate/slocate.db.stf' already exists and does not appear to be a valid slocate database. Please remove before creating the database.


I'm running debian sarge and I swear I didn't change anything. I just started getting the message. There is no /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db.stf on the harddrive now, and when I run /etc/cron.daily/slocate from the command prompt, I don't get any errors. The slocate database is being updated, so maybe I can ignore the message. Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks,

Ben
