Bug Description

oneiric findutils 4.4.2-1ubuntu3 - invalid switch in /etc/cron.daily/find
Original command reads

cd / && nice -n ${NICE:-10} ionice -c ${IONICE_CLASS:-2} -p ${IONICE_PRIORITY:-7} updatedb 2>/dev/null

Changing -p to -n works fine. -p is used for already-running processes, which doesn't seem to be the case here.
