This is caused because renice has added the -n option, from bsdutils changelog:
* renice: add -n option for compatibility with POSIX
this option have being added since util-linux 2.15~rc1-1 on Mon, 23 Mar 2009,
so the only way you can find this bug is using stable (leeny has the 2.13.1.1-1
version) along with boinc from testing/unstable.
I think that applying the patch and asking a release exception for this will not
be a good idea right now, since squeeze already provides the new version from
bsdutils that adds -n.
