Bug Description

Binary package hint: etckeeper

From http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515602

I get the following error from the cron job
because of the usage of $USER in pre-commit.d/30store-metadata:

/etc/cron.daily/etckeeper:
find: invalid argument `-exec' to `-user'

This bug was fixed in the package etckeeper - 0.30ubuntu2

---------------
etckeeper (0.30ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Avoid relying on USER being set, since for the cronjob, it won't be.
    Fix backported from 0.31 (LP: #333243)
