Title:
  /etc/cron.daily/sysstat: xargs: xz: No such file or directory

Status in sysstat package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in sysstat source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released
Status in sysstat package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Sysstat has changed the default compression from bzip2 to xz but the packages is lack of depend of the xz-utils.
  This causes the daily cronjob to fail with:

  /etc/cron.daily/sysstat:
  xargs: xz: No such file or directory

  This has been fixed in the Debian package by depending on the correct compression package.

  Attaching a patch which will do the same for Ubuntu.

  # lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  Release:        16.04

  # apt-cache policy sysstat
  sysstat:
    Installed: 11.2.0-1
    Candidate: 11.2.0-1
    Version table:
   *** 11.2.0-1 500
          500 http://linux-sua.it.su.se/xenial/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  [Test Case]
  * Install the sysstat package
  * Enable that sadc collect system activity informations.
  * Wait until /etc/cron.daily/sysstat has run.
  * Expect mail to you root account with "xargs: xz: No such file or directory"

  [Regression Potential]
  I don't think there is any risks with this fix. 
  Since bzip2 is more widely used then xz I think bzip2 still will installed on the machine. So if someone have changed the default compression from xz to bzip2 the daily job still should succeed.
