Package: debianutils
Subject: debianutils: run-parts gets stuck at logrotate and never finishes cron.daily jobs
Version: 2.16.2
Severity: important

anacron gets stuck everyday while performing cron.daily jobs. A typical process status (ps --forest output format) is:
26121 ?        00:00:00 anacron
27557 ?        00:00:00  \_ run-parts
29302 ?        00:00:00      \_ logrotate <defunct>

logrotate returns successfully when I run it manually and doesn't show any problems. A side effect of the behavior above is that anacron doesn't get to go through the rest of the cron.daily jobs, even after I kill run-parts whenever I remember to do so (I have to do it daily :( ). This causes, among other things, my syslog files to grow large unless I manually run the sysklogd daily job.

If I do not remember to kill run-parts, no daily job will ever run again. anacron fails to start and complains about an already running instance preventing it from starting.
