It's not just the CRON module, but pretty much everything is borked. I cannot
read my Apache logs, fetchmail config, etc.
I noticed when attempting to file a bug report via reportbug, that this package
has _been orphaned by Debian_.
This is not good, I truly wish I'd known this before I trashed my upstream
working version and switched to the Debian package. I only switched because I
wasnted to keep everything vanilla Debian.
I think there should be a warning given when one attempts to install such a
package, via either apt-get, or aptitude. The warning should mention that the
package is orphaned, and to use at your own risk.
Looks like one should probably use the upstream version, since it's probably
unlikely that anyone is going to adopt this package, OR are you saying that the
upstream vesion is borked to?
