Package: approx
Version: 5.5-1
Severity: normal
Control: tags -1 patch
Dear Maintainer,
I have an approx installation on a kfreebsd-amd64 machine. The cron job
emits the following error:
> /etc/cron.weekly/approx:
> nice: ionice: No such file or directory
> run-parts: /etc/cron.weekly/approx exited with return code 127
ionice is not available on kfreebsd-any nor on hurd-i386.
(See for example the build logs for util-linux for these ports:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=util-linux&suite=unstable)
It's probably easiest to check for ionice availabilty at runtime, I've
attached a patch.
Thanks,
leo

This bug was fixed in version 5.7-1.
The cronjob doesn't use ionice anymore. Check commit 3af46a89 for more details.
