issue with locate command in junest

[LukeLabrie]

after running

yay -S locate

i'm seeing the following error with the locate command in junest:

pread: No such file or directory

all i can find from a google search is here, so i thought i might just need glibc so i ran

yay -S glibc

but still seeing the same issue. i use a manjaro system, where the locate command works fine. i'm using the junest environment to test some builds using easybuild. easybuild uses the locate command to check for os dependencies. anyone able to reproduce the issue and/or have an idea of what's going on?
