Bug Description
Binary package hint: slocate
$ ls -1 /etc/cron.
/etc/cron.
/etc/cron.
/etc/cron.
It improperly diverts findutil's cronjob, which causes updatedb to run three times in succession. Nowadays findutils uses ionice on its own, so there is no reason to even divert it any more.
We need to fix this on upgrades as well.

Note there is a bug in the findutils update in gutsy which causes it to either not run properly ionice'd or not run at all: /bugs.edge. launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ findutils/ +bug/152692
https:/
But it also will ionice process 7, whatever that is, if it exists :-(
On a fresh gutsy install I have both findutils and slocate, and see 2 of those jobs, but don't see /etc/cron. daily/find. notslocate. dpkg-new
