GNU locate 4.1: updatedb bug

[Chris Pepper]

	As of locate version 4.1, if the output dir doesn't exist, 
updatedb returns a confusing error that the database would be empty, 
rather than specifying the output path is invalid.

	Additionally, it would be helpful if 
<http://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/findutils.html> contained this 
bug address.


                                                Thanks for locate,



                                                Chris Pepper
