Public bug reported:
Under Ubuntu 12.04, when I attempted to remove the anacron package, it
incorrectly identified logrotate as a dependency of this package.
There is no way that logrotate "requires" anacron to operate. Logrotate
is a standalone package that can be exectued from crontab, anacrontab or
the command line, for that matter. It does not "require" any of these
so, please remove the dependency from the logrotate package on anacron.
Having anacron as a requirement for logrotate makes it impossible to
remove anacron (which on a server, for example, is an annoying package
that is more trouble than it is worth), without removing logrotate too
(which is a very useful package that one wishes to keep).
