I use cronapt. cron-apt? I didn’t find anything in its configuration, so that it would send the changelog as well.

Two cronjobs for apticron?
Hi! System: Debian Squeeze After the installation of apticron I noticed I have two cronjobs. One belongs to the package and is installed in /etc/cron.daily. It calls apticron without options. The other one is created by the postinst script in /etc/cron.d with a random start time. It calls apticron with the -cron option which creates a status file in /var, so that apticron only runs once a day. Since the first cronjob calls apticron without an option, apticron will run twice a day. Does anyone know the reason for this behaviour?
