I have one problem, I can't execute lxsession-default-apps on Lubuntu 14.04 because I get because said to me "The database is updating, please wait"

If I try to run lxsession-default-apps, I get this error:

 ** Message: utils.vala:30: config_path_directory: /home/USER/.config/lxsession-default-apps
 ** Message: desktop-files-backend.vala:171: test config_path: /home/USER/.config/lxsession-default-apps/settings.conf

 ** Message: desktop-files-backend.vala:189: Signal finish scanning with mode: write

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Regards.
