If the coreutils uptime is broken (and assuming it isn't straightforward
to fix) then I would have thought the right thing would be to reduce the
priority of that one alternative rather than increasing all the others
to be higher.  Or just stop coreutils shipping uptime altogether I
suppose.  But, anyway, patching procps to work around a bug in coreutils
seems like the wrong thing.
