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.
Aborted
[root@marvin parameters]# file /sys/module/nousb/parameters
/sys/module/nousb/parameters: directory
[root@marvin parameters]# cd /sys/module/nousb/parameters
[root@marvin parameters]# ls -l
ls: cannot access : No such file or directory

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

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?
