updatedb is not running on Mageia 9

On my Mageia 9 system it looks like updatedb is not running each day. I used "locate" to find a folder that I know is there, and locate came up with nothing.
So I dug down a bit to see if the database is being updated.
Back in mid June I ran updatedb manually to force an update after changing the file structure a bit, and it looks as though the database has not been updated since then.
I have not done any configuration changes on this part of the system. Here is the systemd timer plocate-updatedb.timer in /usr/lib/systemd/system.
What am I missing? Do I have to enable this somewhere?
Thanks
