Is findutils broken? I can't updatedb or locate...

[root@reformedtube ~]# pacman -Q findutils
findutils 4.4.2-2
[root@reformedtube ~]# updatedb
-bash: updatedb: command not found
[root@reformedtube ~]# locate
-bash: locate: command not found
[root@reformedtube ~]#

Any ideas? This is on a fresh install of Arch64.

I'm not sure what's happened - but about a month ago locate and updatedb wouldn't work without the mlocate package.

finduitls has not had updatedb/locate in it for years...

mlocate was moved out of base so is not installed by "default" now.
