You could temporarily comment out that spell in the 
/var/lib/sorcery/sustained 
file, downgrade findutils, hold the spell then remove the comment 
from /var/lib/sorcery/sustained.  I did something similar when playing with 
gettext.  That would allow you to both verify if findutils was the culprit 
and revert to a usable system.
