Package: approx
Version: 2.00
Severity: normal

The cron job /etc/cron.weekly/approx includes lines

  find /var/cache/approx/. -type d -empty | xargs rmdir
  su approx -c "gc_approx --quiet"

PROBLEMS

  1. There is no account "gc_approx"
  2. xargs fails if find(1) call is empty

SUGGESTION

- Not sure what to suggest for [1]. Perhaps call should
  test the existence of account gc_approx first? point to
  account creation script in the approx package?

- use option "--no-run-if-empty" with xargs to prevent failure.
