If you were using GNU locate, the command-line option you want would be --statistics. It prints a number of interesting statistics, but not the modification time of the database. I just checked in a change which does do so.

While it's true that findutils' locate(1) doesn't support
the --verbose flag, adding this option wouldn't help:

> $ locate --version
> mlocate 0.26


You are using one of the distributions which has chosen to
replace GNU findutils' implementation of locate(1) by the
one from the "mlocate" package.
I'm afraid you have to ask on their bugtracker or mailing list.

Have a nice day,

--verbose option is not supported by 'locate'

Actual result:

$ locate --verbose 'file_pattern'
locate: unrecognized option '--verbose'

Expected result:

Verbose output including which databases are used for the search; their timestamps (last updated date).

Additional information:

$ locate --version
mlocate 0.26
