Thi swill happen each time scrollkeeper-updatedb is run, and is caused
by a problem in the configuration script in scrollkeeper.

You can apply the patch I posted in the scrollkeeper-devel list, which
can be found at
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5313573
I think it should apply cleanly to the current release.

This was apparently commited (see
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5351410) but for
some reason the released tarball for 2.4 did not include it.

    De la observación de la irreductibilidad de las creencias últimas 
    he sacado la mayor lección de mi vida. Aprendí a respetar las ideas 
    ajenas, a detenerme ante el secreto de las conciencias, a entender 
    antes de discutir, a discutir antes de condenar. Y como estoy en 
    vena de confesiones, hago una más, quizás superflua: detesto con 
    toda mi alma a los fanáticos.
