This seems to be only an error from ionice, but updatedb will run nevertheless, because ionice should get called for the current process only: ionice -c ${IONICE_CLASS:-2} -n ${IONICE_PRIORITY:-7} -p $$
I've found http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=456292 which talks about this for dlocate (where it really fails, because ionice calls the command) and the solution appears to be redirecting stderr for the ionice call to /dev/null. Can you report it for slocate to Debian and then link it here? Because it's only a cosmetical thing, I don't think we should risk doing this differently than in Debian. ** Changed in: slocate (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Status: New => Triaged -- slocate cron job fails without ioprio_set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173489 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
