This seems to be only an error from ionice, but updatedb will run nevertheless, because ionice should get called for the current process only:

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.
