Mogria 417dbaf6a3 findutils: updatedb now uses writable database outside of /nix/store by default
updatedb could only be run by providing the --output parameter,
because it would use a path inside the nix store as it's database.
The default for --output is now /var/cache/locatedb (the same
as in the NixOS locate service)

The GNU Find Utilities are the basic directory searching
utilities of the GNU operating system. These programs are
typically used in conjunction with other programs to provide
modular and powerful directory search and file locating
capabilities to other commands.
The tools supplied with this package are:
* find - search for files in a directory hierarchy;
* locate - list files in databases that match a pattern;
* updatedb - update a file name database;
* xargs - build and execute command lines from standard input.
