Public bug reported: cron sends a mail each day because the apticron cron.daily script is broken:
/etc/cron.daily/apticron: /etc/cron.daily/apticron: 6: let: not found sleep: missing operand Try `sleep --help' for more information. This is because /etc/cron.daily/apticron uses /bin/sh, which doesn't have the "let" command. The workaround is to change the script to have "!#/bin/bash" at the top. ** Affects: apticron (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Affects: apticron (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- apticron cron.daily script broken https://launchpad.net/bugs/69438 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
