Why does it take so much time to initialize mlocate database?

While I was trying to install xubuntu-desktop on wsl2(Ubuntu 20.04) on windows 10.

It got stuck at

Initializing mlocate database; this may take some time...

after waiting for a long time(left it for a whole night, as I heard this process takes a lot of time as it parses through every path present on the system)

I closed the process and ran:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

again it's stuck at the same point.

My question is:

  • How to resolve it?
  • Why does it take so much time?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
