Package: systemd-cron
Version: 1.1.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I had install systemd back in mid-Feb--had not checked logs until last week. I
found that cron jobs were not being run.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I manually installed the newer  systemd-cron package from upstream (1.21) &
corrected it to work with my system.  This started to make cron jobs work. My
logs indicated that "/user/bin/run-parts"  were not found, so jobs were not
run.
I then created a link from /bin/run-parts to /usr/bin/run-parts which was the
final piece of the puzzle.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
Cron jobs are now running normally.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Expected version 1.1.1-1 to run cron jobs normally.


I can be contacted to show what I did to make the cron.target(s) run - the
changes were very minimal.

I run a sid system & pull from experimental were it looks like it would be
helpful.

Upstream defaults to /usr/bin/run-parts.
Debian's packaging correctly passes --runparts=/bin/run-parts to ./configure.
The resulting package as at 1.1.1-1 is correct:

    cron-daily.service:9:   ExecStart=/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.daily
    cron-hourly.service:9:  ExecStart=/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
    cron-monthly.service:9: ExecStart=/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
    cron-weekly.service:9:  ExecStart=/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.weekly

Clearly Dean simply forgot to pass this option.
