Findutils 4.4.2-3 is broken as-delivered.  To function, updatedb script needs references to /var/tmp/findutils-root removed, and coreutils installed.

rpm build/install path embeds in updatedb scripts ...
$ grep findutils-root `which updatedb`
: ${LOCATE_DB=/var/tmp/findutils-root/opt/freeware/var/locatedb}
    : ${LIBEXECDIR=/var/tmp/findutils-root/opt/freeware/libexec}
    : ${BINDIR=/var/tmp/findutils-root/opt/freeware/bin}

# updatedb script has undeclared dependency on coreutils (hard-path to GNU sort command)
$ grep sort `which updatedb`
    sort="/opt/freeware/bin/sort"
        sort="/opt/freeware/bin/sort -z"
        sort="/opt/freeware/bin/sort"
