Why do you think so? Simple answer: before the upgrade in openSUSE 12.3 I had findutils-4.5.10-10.8.1.i586 findutils-locate-4.5.10-10.8.1.i586
I did the upgrade using zypper dup without modifying the list of packages which should be installed or upgraded. After the upgrade in 13.1 I have findutils-4.5.12-1.1.i586 mlocate-0.26-4.1.2.i586 Again - I did not choose to get mlocate, it happened automatically.
findutils [1] is still shipped with locate(1) and the update(1) job for cron. well, my observation was that the upgrade replaced findutils-locate by mlocate and it had the described effects. The rpm findutils did not and does not contain locate and updatedb, it was split off some versions ago into the findutils-locate rpm package.
Whether the replacement of findutils-locate by mlocate was an error of the upgrade procedure or a decision of the community I can't tell or if one package has an advantage over the other.
