Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-120
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Noticed that weekly Analog run via cron.weekly was about 4 weeks
old. This was prior to a apt-get upgrade. Upgrade broke something.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Waited for next run. This is not happening (daily and weekly missed)
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Checked anacron and looked at logic. Anacron appears to remove itself
from running processes after running once. Cron checks for anacron
and if executable then doesn't run daily, weekly or monthly. But
anacron is not resident and only runs when daily, weekly or monthly
cron runs. This circular logic means that daily, weekly or monthly
will never run.
