New description:

 Following successful installation of the `findutils` package, I attempted
 to use `glocate` - which requires that `gupdatedb` be run to build the
 database. `gupdatedb` fails with the following message:

 {{{
 % sudo /opt/local/bin/gupdatedb
 gfind: failed to read file names from file system at or below '/': No such
 file or directory
 }}}

 Per suggestion of "@neverpanic" on IRC, I tried adding `gupdatedb` to
 "Full Disk Access" in System Preferences, but no relief.
