Yep. To get this forward I should now really have bcron-run provide cron-service? Checking the current list of virtual packages, it rather suggests cron-daemon, and actually I'd mostly prefer my suggestion, to have logrotate simply drop the version restriction from Depends: cron. $ w3m -dump http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/virtual-package-names-list.txt |grep cron 25 Jun 2004 Added cron-daemon $ Regards, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
