the refresh of the 'locate' database in catfish fail

[Christophe C]

Catfish need a refresh (every 7 days) of the 'locate' database of the system, and it uses it.

Catfish 4.16.4 (in kinetic) use as database /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db.

Which don't exist in Ubuntu (since 20.04 ??).

In jammy and kinetic (at least), the database is in /var/lib/plocate/plocate.db (P instead of M).

So at each launch, catfish ask the user to clic for refresh /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db (wich does not exist), then announce that the refresh failed.

I patched the problem, and it seams to work fine :

in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/catfish_lib/catfishconfig.py

and replace the string :
__locate_db_path__ = '/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db'
by
__locate_db_path__ = '/var/lib/plocate/plocate.db'
