Details

When one specifies

IONICE_CLASS=3

(idle class)

in /etc/cron.daily/logrotate

the executing prints the following warning message:

ionice: ignoring given class data for idle class

This is due to the fact that the execution line is:

/usr/bin/ionice -c 3 -n 7 ...

When it should have just been:
/usr/bin/ionice -c 3 ...

because -n seems to be incompatible with -c 3 (idle)

The attached patch solves this with no plausible serious side effects
