Added a case to handle broken diversion. /usr/bin/locate and
/usr/bin/updatedb must be symlinks to /usr/bin/slocate. In the
case that they are not, the removal of the diversion fails.
A check is done to detect the diversion and forcefully removes
/usr/bin/locate and /usr/bin/updatedb before diverting the old
findutils binaries back.
(closes: #270762)
