I received the update on monday (in testing), however, stamp files are
not updated:
ls -ltr /var/spool/anacron/
insgesamt 12
-rw------- 1 root root 9 18. Sep 08:11 cron.monthly
-rw------- 1 root root 9 25. Sep 06:38 cron.daily
-rw------- 1 root root 9 25. Sep 06:39 cron.weekly
(I had updated daily/weekly manually on sunday).
Is there something I need to do additionally?
root@twentytwo:~# systemctl status anacron.service
◈ anacron.service - Run anacron jobs
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/anacron.service; disabled; preset:
enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:anacron
man:anacrontab
In syslog I see
…
Sep 29 18:30:01 twentytwo CRON[5114]: (root) CMD ([ -x /etc/init.d/anacron ] &&
if [ ! -d /run/systemd/system ]; then /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start
>/dev/null; fi)
Sep 29 19:30:01 twentytwo CRON[8138]: (root) CMD ([ -x /etc/init.d/anacron ] &&

>/dev/null; fi)
/etc/init.d/anacron exists, /run/systemd/system is a directory.
If I issue the command manually, namely:
I get no output, however:

And now the stamp file is updated:
helge@twentytwo:~$ ls -tlr /var/spool/anacron/
insgesamt 12
-rw------- 1 root root 9 18. Sep 08:11 cron.monthly
-rw------- 1 root root 9 25. Sep 06:39 cron.weekly
-rw------- 1 root root 9 29. Sep 21:08 cron.daily
I'll check tomorrow after the next reboot, if anacron starts and
updates the stamp files but itself.
If yes, I of course close this bug (again).
