Bug Description

Binary package hint: slocate

In /etc/cron.daily/slocate nice is called with "nice -n {$NICE:-10} ..." which gives this error message: "nice: invalid adjustment `{10:-10}'". It should probably read "${NICE:-10}" as in find.notslocate.

This is for slocate 3.1-1ubuntu2

I can confirm the bug, will test the update shortly.

Thanks for making slocate run nicely. The next thing that slocate should do is use posix_fadvise to have it not destroy the vfs cache and working set.
