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
