It's a bug in the findutils pacakge; it's already been reported several
times.  The fix is to change the lines:

# The directory containing the subprograms.
: ${LIBEXECDIR=@libexecdir@}

# The directory containing find.
: ${BINDIR=@bindir@}

starting at line 80 to read:

# The directory containing the subprograms.
: ${LIBEXECDIR=/usr/lib/locate}

# The directory containing find.
: ${BINDIR=/usr/bin}
