I don't know if this is necessary but the translation of last three lines is:

warning: directory permissions differ on var/lib/mlocate/
filesystem: 755 package: 750
locate:x:21

TIA.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  Not our bug, please fix local permissions to make warning go away.

Why don't you go ahead and resolve the warning by changing the permissions on your local machine? I'm not sure how this is a bug we are supposed to fix, the behavior is quite intentional thus the warning.
